Library supporters added their voices to protest
Posted: 18 Nov 2008 06:30 PM CST

About 450 librarians and library supporters rallied against budget cuts at the Capitol Tuesday. Gov. David Paterson has proposed $20 million in cuts to libraries, which the New York Library Association would bring library aid down for the state’s 73 library systems to a level not seen since 1993. State aid to libraries was flat between 1998 and 2006, according to the group. It was reduced from $103 million in 2007 to $100 million in April, then $99 million in August. MORE

 

Times are tough, but during economic downturns, people use their library more!
Butterfield has experienced tremendous growth so far this year. See chart below outlining the number of items people checked out of the library this year (January through October) as compared to recent years.

The Butterfield Library offers tons of fabulous programs, workshops, lectures, etc.
