    I am a resident of Jackson County and have been using Hunter library for 30 years. Now the rates for use are going up and access is more limited. I feel WCU is trying to marginalize us poor common fools. Does anyone know the proportion of WCU’s budget that comes from the state government?

      Thanks for sharing your concern. Here is the response from our dean: The Friends of the Library group was created in order to raise funds and provide special programming. The $25.00 membership fee is a very low fee for the privilege of borrowing books from an academic library. The average price of an academic book is between $45-65. Because we only purchase one copy of a book, we want to make sure that the books are available for our students and faculty first. Community members are always welcome at Hunter Library.
