The state, county, and local governments here really don't support us that well. |
There are no community centers, no senior centers or youth centers. We have to serve all those purposes. We have become the community center, almost by default. |
We try to balance the collection. The staff and I walk a tightrope, and there are occasional contests. |
When the state cut library budgets a while back, I began to study fundraising techniques. The only two we haven't tried here are pay toilets and slot machines. |
