Clean water, libraries, police and fire lead the way among city bean counters 


For the third year in a row, Minnesota State Fair attendees visiting the "Cities Matter" booth administered by the League of Minnesota Cities  had opportunities to be a "city bean counter." Each person was given a six-bean budget with a goal of deciding how to "spend" their beans among eight different city services.

They were permitted to allocate all of their beans to a single service, or to divide them any way they wished. Through playing the game, visitors quickly got a better understanding of the tough budgeting decisions that city officials are required to make. They also received "Mayor for the Day" buttons.  Here are the results from the 2012 State Fair. 

Clean Water: 6,186 
Libraries: 5,480 
Police: 5,184 
Fire: 4,768 
Parks & Rec: 4,473 
Streets & Sidewalks: 4,438 
Senior Services: 4,159 
Sewers & Garbage: 4,065

Library Card Sign-up Month 

NWRL

As students head back to school this September, we encourage parents to visit the any of the seven Northwest Regional Branch Libraries and make sure their children and teens sign up for the most important school supply of all - a library card.

 

September is Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country remind parents and caregivers that a library card is the smartest card you can own.

 

Studies show that children learn best when they have the opportunity to pursue their own interests. That's why a library card is the most important school supply of all. Libraries provide students with access to innovative programs, classes and educational resources to support their curiosity. Best of all, it won't cost you a thing - it's all free with a library card.  

 

This September, open the door to a world of possibilities for the student in your life, and sign up for a library card today.
