School libraries rely on state funding

Partners Post: September 2017

Right now, lawmakers in Harrisburg are negotiating the details of a revenue plan to pay for the budget they adopted in June. That bipartisan budget increases investments in public schools, but without a responsible plan to pay for it, those investments are at risk.
