We have a museum - Keystone Square Museum, and it is staffed by volunteers; it is open only 6 hrs per week and by appointment. The Lampasas County Museum Foundation is responsible for the museum, and I'm not sure if they get financial support from the County, but I don't think the City supports it financially (though I could be wrong). The library, to my knowledge, has never been asked to "take over" the museum.
Shanda Subia Lampasas Public Library From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Laurie Mahaffey Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 8:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ctls-l] FW: libraries & museums Does your city have a museum? Aside from La Grange (in which the museum, archives, and library are all in one building), who else out there has a museum that is run by a unit of local government (city, county, etc.)? If there is a non-government sponsored museum, who operates it? Do any city/county funds go to help support it? Has your library ever been asked to take over & staff or fund a museum? How about those in historical homes? Thanks.
