Library trustees fight federal library funding cutback
Lompoc Library Board trustees fired off telegrams to Congressman Charles Teague and Senators George Murphy and Alan Cranston urging opposition to an $18 million cutback in federal library funding proposed by the US Budget Bureau. A Washington hearing will review the plan to trim 50 percent from allocations for library services and end federal funds for construction. The cutback could cripple the Black-Gold cooperative system and curtail book preparation and processing. The board also approved $1,375 to activate a photo-charge system replacing signature chargeout, with a July 1 completion target, and directed exploration of cheaper lawn options for the grounds.
