ADDRESS TO THE PARMLY BILLINGS JOINT CITY - COUNTY LIBRARY
May 25, 1988
The Laurel Public Library Board feels an obligation to
the Yellowstone County residents we have been serving
since 1976. The area we serve goes beyond the 41/2 miles
of the City County planning area, west to the Stillwater
County line -6 miles, south to the Carbon County line -6
miles, east to 56th St. W. -4 miles, and north 8 miles.
The Parmly Billings Joint City- County Library Board has
recognized our usefulness in serving this area since they
have been entering into this financial arrangement since 1976.
Is the Joint City- County Library considering elimination
of any other 'double library service opportunities', such
as bookmobile service to county residents or is the Laurel
county area the only county area you are considering
elimination of 'double library service opportunities'?
Elimination of this contract will result in reducing the
hours the Laurel Public Library is open. A proportionate
cut will be made in the book budget and staff hours.
The Laurel Public Library Board is willing to negotiate
the contract amounts to share in the reduction of county
revenues. We would like to keep a working relationship
between the Parmly Billings Joint City - Cbunty Library and
the Laurel Public Library.
