Dane County's Board of Supervisors is considering budget cuts that could eliminate funding for the Madison Reading Project's Little Readers program, which provides books to underserved children. The nonprofit receives $50,000 annually from Dane County, which represents just 5% of the organization's operating budget but more than 30% of its early literacy budget for Little Readers. The program serves families experiencing financial hardship or homelessness. The potential cut comes as Dane County faces a $15 million deficit and must prioritize mandated services. The proposed budget amendment requires approval from the County Board.
