Superior's Library Payments Means Reading on Sundays Again

The $75,ooo payment Superior has agreed to pay for their residents' use of Louisville's public library will allow the library to open up on Sundays again starting in August.

This is a positive compromise compared to the initial reaction from Superior which told Louisville to pound sand when they requested a contribution. When Superior voters defeated a ballot issue last November to fund their own library it made the situation more tense, as Louisville perceived they were being taken advantage of with their brand new public library.

Next year Superior has tentatively agreed to pay $150,000; that could be altered by a task force looking at longer-term solutions.
