Revised Budget May Restore Much of State Funding to Connecticut Library System
Spring came in like a lion in Connecticut, where the threat of sweeping changes to how public libraries operate arrived in the form of the Governor’s proposed budget. The Connecticut Library System was slated to lose $3.5 million if the original proposed budget was passed. The Appropriations Committee released a revised budget at the beginning of the month that “restores much of the funding for funding for statewide library programs that had been slated for elimination,” said State Librarian Kendall F. Wiggin in his Conntech Budget News update.
