No suggestions in the box these last two weeks, but plenty abuzz here at the Library. Of note, we are expecting a flat budget in FY2009 (0% increase) which will ultimately reduce the library's hours, collection, and programs. As a staff we have brainstormed efficiencies, cuts that would be fair to the broadest range of people in town, and looked at our own expectations if we are to complete the same amount of work in fewer hours. The cuts will be across all departments, but we know how much nickles and dimes can help in the library.
Building: We are also looking closely at some leaks we have on the facade of the historic brick front of the library. Currently, we are getting cost estimates for its repair/repointing in order to move forward seeking funds before the problem grows and consequently the cost grows.
Please share your questions and concerns. And HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
