DENVER—Services and hours will likely be cut back at Denver’s public libraries as the city tries to cover a $120 million budget shortfall.
Library officials expect to know within the week how much money they’ll have to cut from their budget. Some branch libraries might even be closed.
A focus group will in the next few weeks to figure out how spending should be reduced.
The Denver Public Library has 22 branches and the main library downtown. About a dozen of those branches are being renovated and three new libraries are set be built, thank to voter-approved funds. That money still has to be spent on those projects, despite the cutbacks.
