The Bloomfield Public Library Board is concerned about funding for the 2013 fiscal year.
The group has been working to secure additional funding for operating the facility. Budget cuts last year forced the facility to reduce library hours from 42 per week down to 29.5.

A story in Wednesday’s Bloomfield Democrat details the library’s problems and also provides information about an upcoming building expansion.
Audra Kincart, McKenna Harward, Emma Griffin and Lauren Lynch will take part in the Iowa High School State Speech competition on Saturday in Cedar Rapids. The foursome will compete in the group improvisation category.
