Abstract

Boston (BPL) and Los Angeles Public Libraries (LAPL) have dealt with and are still facing, recessionary budget pressures that began in 2007. The level of community support provided and the manner in which it was provided differed. The cases describe the organizational reactions and community support and advocacy.

Depuis 2007, les bibliothèques publiques de Boston (BPL) et de Los Angeles (LAPL) ont dû composer et doivent toujours composer avec des pressions budgétaires en raison de la récession. Le niveau d’appui communautaire offert et la façon de l’offrir différent dans les deux villes. Les cas décrivent les réactions organisationnelles, l’appui communautaire et la conscientisation des intervenants.
