Residents Rally, Raise Voices Over Dramatic Budget Cuts Proposed For Niles-Maine District Library
CBS Chicago 8 hrs ago Syndicated Local – CBS Chicago
NILES, Ill. (CBS) There was a lot of anger in Niles Tuesday night over proposed budget cuts at the Niles-Maine District Library.
A rally was held Tuesday evening at Nico Park in Niles taking issue with a proposed library budget that would impose drastic cuts on building hours, staff, and pensions – and even money for new books in half.
“They seek to make drastic cuts that would be a disaster for our library. They claim that the community doesn’t need and doesn’t want – doesn’t care about the services we provide. But they are wrong. Our community does care – am I right?” Niles-Maine District teen services librarian Donna Block at the rally. “The library is all about the community, and this board wants to cut the programs that serve you all.”
