| In a prepared news release issued last night, the Mifflin Co. Library Board of Trustees reported that the Allensville & the Milroy branches were being considered for closing. The library has been struggling all year to close the shortfall when state aid was decreased from last year. Vacant positions went unfilled & the materials budget was slashed, & will also be cut again for the remainder of this year. Library Director, Carol Veitch, admitted that once a branch is closed, âthe odds of it ever opening again are close to zeroâ. The Allensville & Milroy library branches could close as soon as Sept. 1, just as schools are preparing to open. |
