The Brownton City Council voted Tuesday, Oct. 3, to restore the funding it had withheld from the Pioneerland Library System, after hearing that the Brownton Public Library was fully staffed.
Head Librarian Jackee Fountain also gave a report on the activities and materials that are offered at the library.
Fountain said two people have been hired to help staff the Brownton library, one from the Glencoe area and one from the Lester Prairie area. In recent months, the library has not always been open for its full 20-hour schedule because of a lack of staffing.
