Cedar Rapids library ends flood-era budget limbo with new operations
The Cedar Rapids library transitions from flood recovery to normal operation with a $5 million annual budget, funded by federal disaster dollars and private donations, plus city sales tax revenue. The system adds staff, tightens part-time hours, shifts $800,000 from private donations to operations, and relies on a future library levy vote planned for November 2015.
