Library Renovation Plans Amid County Tight Budgets
Franklin County commissioners warned of a severe money squeeze after a railroad tax suit loss and farm machinery levy changes. They stated county revenue sharing would fund necessities only, with no distributions next year. The library sought 10,000 in federal funds but was unsure of aid. The board aims to raise 2,500 for the Endowment Fund, matched by a private trust. Enrollment for the fall Discovery Program was full, with an average 67 children per story hour in August. Kathy Norton was introduced as the new evening and weekend supervisor, soon covering maternity leave duties.
