Republican lawmakers in the state House of Representatives have slashed ALL funding for public libraries in their latest budget. This devastating decision eliminates $4.5 million in funds that would have supported our libraries.
Republican lawmakers in the Missouri state House of Representatives followed through on threats they previously made to librarians, passing a state budget this week that eliminates all funding to public libraries throughout the “Show Me State.”, after cuts proposed by Rep. Cody Smith , chair of the state House Budget Committee, were included.
The budget has yet to be passed in the state Senate. Republicans in that legislative body have said they would restore the cuts, but that promise was made before the budget was passed in the House.
