Sez who?
It might be *harder* to fund libraries when you have 10% unemployment, perhaps, but my community finds a way to come up with over $40 million dollars *every year* for libraries. The library's funding last year was $300,000 below their budget; as a consequence they reduced hours and some services. But the existence of the library is not in doubt - they have been a government supported institution for the past 140 years and I don't think that will change any time soon.
