“
In short:
Local councils say the way public libraries are funded across Victoria needs
reform, with communities in Melbourne's growth corridors described as
"chronically underfunded".
The state government has defended its investment in public libraries, saying it
has contributed $567 million to libraries over 10 years.
What's next?
Councils and advocacy body Public Libraries Victoria plan to prioritise the
issue in the lead-up to the November state election.”
