It was months in the making, but Kossuth County’s libraries officially received full funding for this fiscal year.

The money came as part of a budget amendment passed Tuesday, Sept. 17, by the Kossuth County Board of Supervisors. Libraries received the majority of the $285,517 amendment—accounting for $188,245 of the total. The amendment also allotted Kossuth County Emergency Management with its full funding for this year.
