Local author Karen Blumenthal, who wrote Steve Jobs: the Man Who Thought Different was quoted in a dallasnews.com. "...Dallas ranks at or near the bottom in library spending. Seattle, for example, is proposing to spend $48.6 million next fiscal year, compared with $18.2 million for Dallas.
And Seattle’s per capita spending of $79.90 is more than five times greater than the $15.17 Dallas would spend — an amount that trails behind every other major Lone Star city, including Fort Worth, which expects to spend $26.79 per capita. Click here to read the whole article which appears in Dallasnews.com.
