The supervisors has meet the system’s project of about $400,000 deficit from cutting the hours and librarians. The six branches of the said library remains open. They have considered outsourcing management to a Maryland based company that has promised to xtend their library hours while reducing costs.

The response of the residents has been remarkable. He received almost 1,700 envelopes after he was called the public to support the six facility library system.
According to Madelyn Helling that what the Jerk Ackerman did was really a democracy in action and County Librarian Mary Ann Trygg added that it was a huge effort. The plan that was adopted by supervisors, the library hours at the five general libraries will be slashed from 160 to 143 per week.
The Doris Foley Library for his Historical Research in Nevada City will actually extend its hours but the good news is that library doors will be open two days per week instead of the current one. They are expecting that through outsourcing, they work will be more easier.
