While the mayor feels that the library requesting $60,000 from the village is a BIG ASK he did not ask what that money would be used for...
That money (combined with the $60,000 from the town) would allow for:
    •  increased hours
  • increased staff to conduct programming for children and adults

  • Wifi
    •  increased digital offerings
   • Ebooks and AV
    •  Increased materials budget for books, AV, and magazines
   •  Renovations to maximize use of existing library space
These are the concrete plans we have....We continue to look for other ways to fund the library budget but as yet we have not found a solution
It is a big ASK but there is also a great NEED.
