Weatherford Place 2 City Councilmember Jeff Robinson began a discussion Tuesday night about the need of additional funding for the Weatherford Public Library.
Over the years, the Parker County commissioners court has approved $40,000 in funding annually to the Weatherford Public Library, with that amount increasing to $51,000 this fiscal year. However, the libraryâs budget is more than $1 million annually, Robinson said.
âI think the issue that I have is that it may be that thatâs all the county can afford at this point â I would certainly like to see that amount go up â but there is a clause in [the contract] that says if we accept the $51,000, then the county residents have to be given the exact privileges of the citizens of Weatherford,â he said.
