Cedar Rapids Library Faces Crisis From Inflation and Funding Cuts
Cedar Rapids Public Library cites inflation and a sharp fall in city revenue sharing as the main causes of a “crisis” in book purchases. For 1982 83 the city provided 30000 dollars, far below 1960 levels, with costs rising fivefold. A three phase plan to raise standards will be reviewed at the January 21 board meeting. The 1983 84 request seeks about 160000 dollars for books from an 184000 dollar materials budget.
