Sites and Soundbytes: DPI Asks for Higher Funding for Libraries in Wisconsin

Wisconsin DPI Biennial Budget Request

"In her "State of education" speach Sup. Burmaster said: "In Wisconsin, our public libraries have long been centers of our communities and now also provide high-tech free access to information. State funding has fallen to 8.2%, the lowest level in 20 years. Continuing to under fund our public libraries puts at risk our program of library access, resource sharing, and quality services. Our libraries are being used now in more ways by more people than ever before. We must increase to 13% our state level of funding, and support our interlibrary loan operations and BadgerLink. Wisconsin must fulfill our promise.""

Yes!
