Cedar Rapids library pleas city for renewal funds
Cedar Rapids library officials told the city council that without funding for renewal subscriptions some periodicals face cancellation in July. Library Director Tom Carney cited Congress as not acting on revenue sharing, noting renewals total about 23 451 dollars with some already cut to 20 000. The council debated user fees to support library operations, acknowledging education as a key function while considering budget cuts and revenue sharing. Carney warned he must return to the council for help when July renewals are due.
