In 1978, the citizens of California took the historic step of
voting for Proposition 13, thus reducing property taxes by 57%.
Already known as a trend setting state, California's tax revolt was
no different, as similar tax revisions quickly spread across the
United States of America. In California, state and local
governments struggled to find a way to manage the loss in revenue.
On many occasions budget cuts were the solution. Library budgets
were frequently the target of those cuts. Proposition 13 -
America's Second Great Tax Revolt details how libraries
prioritized, managed and reacted to hardships in this new world,
and have done so in California for the last forty years where
Proposition 13 is still the law. Library and information science
professionals were facing budget cuts that were as high as 65% with
little to no guarantee of what future budgets were to be. The
actions they took, and the rationale behind those actions, offer
significant lessons to be learned by the library community on both
an academic and practitioner level. Exploring the intended and
unintended consequences of Proposition 13, this book provides an
insightful understanding of how to manage a library budget given a
difficult funding situation. It examines the thought processes
behind government financing and spending priorities, and considers
how libraries can organize, and participate in activism to
influence decision makers.
