Qua Library Needs Help In Glenwood
The Public Library board met to discuss funding as the millage was cut from five to three mills. With less than $1,200 needed yearly and about $600 available this year, the library may close June 1 unless the Chamber of Commerce and city owners provide aid. Patronage has risen, and the donor contract requires adequate tax support. The board will seek help or face closure.
