According to the Mankato Free Press, the Mankato library will drop its Sunday hours and lose 14% of its purchasing budget for new books and other materials as a result of the city’s LGA cuts. Reductions in library services may get worse after the county, which also supports the library and took a cut to its state aid, releases its budget.
The governor’s recent unallotment of LGA is having an immediate impact in communities across the state. To support the services that keep your community a safe, affordable, and attractive place to live, contact your legislators and the governor today and tell them to protect LGA funding next session.
