When word went out that the Mt. Lebanon Public Library stands to lose more than 10 percent of its annual budget due to funding cuts, the public was invited to attend forums soliciting ways to reduce the shortfall. Only two residents showed up Sept. 8 for the first of three forums.
One problem facing the library is the lack of a state budget, making it difficult to determine how much state funding will be available.
Another is that if the Allegheny County Library Association adopts a new formula for distributing money through the Regional Asset District, the Mt. Lebanon library could lose more than $170,000, said library director Cynthia Richey. The annual library budget is $1.6 million.
