“State Funding Cuts Force Change in
Regional Library Delivery Service”
Fennville, MI, February 2, 2010 – Effective March
15, 2010, the Fennville District Library and many
public libraries in the West Michigan area will be
changing the way they handle returned materials. Library patrons throughout the
8-county Lakeland Library Cooperative service area are being informed they will
need to return materials to the library where they checked them out.
The Lakeland Library Cooperative and its members are making the change in
the delivery service to reduce costs, to preserve access to immensely popular
services, such as inter-library loan, and to avoid charging additional fees to
patrons for library use. The previously offered delivery return service was a
convenience for patrons that the local libraries and Cooperative simply can no
longer afford to support, particularly in light of additional budget cuts anticipated
with the State’s FY 2010-2011 budget. FULL STORY
