New Website Tracks American Library Crisis |

|
Library Journal has launched a website to track the plight of libraries across America as they struggle with what the American Library Association calls a "perfect storm" of devastating losses in funding at a time Americans are turning to libraries for help more than ever. The Newcomerstown Public Library is among the libraries contributing to the website. Visit http://www.losinglibraries.org to see how libraries across the Country are trying to cope and learn how you can help. |
