Abstract

Libraries must take their case for funding straight to citizens due to the changes in fiscal policy and the shift of the California public's view of government function. A library referendum enpowers the public to choose the level of funding they desire and educates them on services provided. Results from a study of California and its county library measures reveal that campaigns, hiring of consultants, formulation of target strategies, and high activity levels significantly affect the success of library measures.
