The San Jose library system alone runs a budget much larger than the total of these programs. The programs being cut are supplementary funding, most library funds come from local taxes. It's going to be a major problem for some libraries, especially in poorer and/or more rural areas, but it's not a total state-wide catastrophe. Edit: By the way, for more context, the library in my relatively wealthy city (Santa Clara) of 120,000 people, had a budget last year of $6,847,849. That's for one main library location and one small branch.
