Room to Breathe: Maximizing Library Resources on a Budget
Public libraries have long faced challenges in staffing, budgeting, and services. Recent threats to federal funding may further stress limited fiscal resources. Meanwhile, the prevalence of misinformation and disinformation in the media and online communities has only increased. How can public libraries meet the growing need for trustworthy information as budgets shrink?
