Do small towns risk losing their libraries?

Library budgets come and go but it appears a worrying trend has emerged. Small towns, such as Medford, Oregon, are at risk for losing their libraries completely due to lack of funding. As the article points out, libraries have existed in North America well before the United States or Canada existed as countries.

DiscoverStation can help libraries with a tight budget and limited staff. Our complete support and web-based control tools means your staff spend less time fixing computers and more time helping patrons. If you'd like to know more about how we've been helping libraries like yours, visit the case studies on our website.
