Several online services are being discontinued by the Mendocino County Library System soon, county officials announced.
In a press release, library officials explained that “due to current and upcoming financial obligations, the Mendocino County Library has made the difficult decision to discontinue some online services including Hoopla, Kanopy, Pronunciator, ProCitizen, GrantFinder, and Kovels. We understand that this news will come as a disappointment to many who have enjoyed these digital services.”
The decision was described as being made following “a careful review of the Library’s digital resources and the impact on patron needs versus budget constraints. Although expenses continue to increase, sales tax revenue is projected to decrease. Measure O provides a sales tax revenue of one-quarter cent (0.25%) with 60% of the revenue for operating expenses and 40% set aside for capital investments. The 60% for operating investments is a small increase over the previous Measure A funds of one-eighth percent (0.125%).”
Mellisa Hannum, County Librarian, was quoted as saying: “Please know that this decision was not made lightly. It was deemed necessary to ensure that the Library continues to be a good steward of taxpayer funds and can maintain other essential services and resources for our community,”
Patrons will no longer have access to digital content of the following services as of these dates:
Hoopla digital – July 1, 2025 Kanopy – July 1, 2025 Pronunciator & ProCitizen – November 27, 2025 GrantFinder – November 10, 2025For more information, visit www.mendolibrary.org or contact the Mendocino County Library at (707) 234-2873.
