My Library is so broke... --How broke is it?

Maybe patrons would feel bad for us and give the library more money...

We use counterfeit copies of Microsoft Windows.

It was only a reimaging issue with this catalog computer, but I think it would be interesting to have these messages pop-up on our public PC's more often.  Maybe some patrons would finally realize how little of their tax payer money actually goes to the library that they would be willing to give more funding.  The library literally makes up less than 2% of the entire County budget, but is used by almost half of the population.

  1. Budgets, it's always a sore spot, isn't it. The arts are always the first cut, and if you try to build your commercial areas you don't have budget security. Sorry, my finance roots are showing :)

    1. Hey Miss KELLIE,
      You wouldn't also happen to have any answers to the library's budget woes would you???
