[Publib] Re: [NexGenLib] Largest library closure in U.S. looms - News story

[Diedre Conkling]

I think there was some about this on PUBLIB already but I don't remember anything on NexGenLib.  There are 3 counties in Oregon where the libraries are or may be being seriously affected by nonrenewal of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act ( Public Law 106-393), Jackson, Josephine and Douglas.  Many counties in Oregon will be affected by this but for some it is road construction or other areas and not the libraries. 

For more information on Jackson County go to:

Not sure if everyone caught this story:

Jackson County in southern Oregon shuts down its entire public library
system.

The 15 libraries serving this rural forest community lost $7 million in
federal funding this year -- nearly 80 percent of the system's budget.
