FUNDING In September the Minersville Public Library holds its annual mail out fund drive campaign. This drive is the initial funding source for the library. The library depends on these funds to operate. State Aid money is based on local fund expenditures. It is required that we spend 12% of total income on materials. With the cuts in State Aid we did not meet these requirements for the past two years. The Borough of Minersville donates $10,000 yearly to the library, plus maintains our grounds, provides the library with water, sewer, and garbage. Grants are available for particular projects. These projects must be new and the library must maintain them with their own moneys. The Snayberger Foundation and The Martha M. Herbert & Michael J. Herbert, M.D. Charitable Trust are utilized yearly. |
