Library Lagomorph: Primary funding for libraries does come from local taxes (property, income and/or sales), but in most places libraries also get some state funding which may include federal funding and grants.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today! If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs! And yeah, they have books too.

I mean, library cards do have a cost. It's just paid in your property taxes (for most people)

So you can also make sure to lobby your federal congresscritters to support IMLS/LSTA funding. www.ala.org/advocacy/lib...
