Sweetwater County Commissioners have asked the Sweetwater County Library System Board of Directors to reduce their budget. Board Chairman Rick Kempa said during the board’s meeting Monday evening “We were asked to find ways to reduce our budget by $934,000.” Initially, the library system submitted a budget request for approximately $3.5 million, a request which was cut to $2.6 million by the commissioners. Library director Scott Kinney says that could mean a 25 percent cut in staff. He says that materials and hours of operation are on the chopping block as well.
