pahannock will still supply the least amount of local funding given any county library in the state. In comparison, Madison County contributes $1.05 per capita. Orange $1.88, Warren $1.05 and Culpeper $1.42. Highland County, with a population density of only six people per acre, gives $2.18 per capita to its county library.
“The Library Trustees have arduously whittled_tlie requested additional amount down to the very least increase necessary to maintain the library’s status,” said Mrs. Jamieson. “This will be the last request for an increase the library will have to ask from the county in the forseeable future.” she emphasized.
The Rappahannock library is now circulating 10,000 books annually compared to only 645 nine years ago. It has over 100 in-library users a week and over 1,000 current registration cards. A third of the library use is accounted for by elementary and high school students and pre-school youngsters.
In the county’s five voting districts, petitions are circulating. Citizens are asked to sign to show their supervisors that they approve the increased library contribution from unappropriated funds to save the library as a full-functioning institution. The trustees also urge citizens to telephone their supervisors to express support for the library request. For further information, contact the Rappahannock library at 675-3780.
