Juniata County Commissioners have cut the library’s budget in half, reducing funding from $90,000 to $45,000 for 2025. Library supporters say the move will hurt families who rely on its services for education, internet access, and community programs. County leaders meanwhile, say the decision was difficult but necessary, adding that the county will continue to maintain the building. Library leaders are urging reconsideration. As of now, no plans have been announced on how the library will adjust to the cuts.
