Library Budget Cuts Restored by Council
The Ukiah Mendocino Library budget was partly restored by the city council in a Friday special session, keeping the North Bay Library Cooperative membership and eligibility for state and federal grants. The city’s contribution rose to 50,103 with the county expected to add about 113,000 from a 12 cent library tax, ensuring access to improved services though some cuts remain on the city side.
