Pennsylvania libraries lagging in funding and access
State Librarian Ernest Doerschuk notes Pennsylvania ranks 24th in per capita library spending and 36th in volumes per person, with 40th in citizen borrowing. Over a million Pennsylvanians lack public library access, and state aid in 1969 was about $6.9 million. A master plan proposes boosting state aid to $35 million annually, doubling per-person spending, and holding hearings in November and December to gather input.
