Background In January, the Cedar Rapids Public Library board approved recommendations to eliminate $460,000, or 7 percent, from its annual budget. This became necessary after a 27-cent library tax levy vote failed last year, and City Hall announced its intention not to give it any additional temporary funding. While the city said it would increase permanent funding by $350,000 annually, that left the library to resolve the gap before the 2017 fiscal year that begins in July. The library eliminated three management positions, changed operation hours — which started in late March — and cut staff’s hours.
