New Fiscal, New Hope: A Letter to the Community from the City Librarian
It’s your friendly neighborhood City Librarian. Six months ago I shared with you updates in Library funding and how it would impact hours and services. Since that time, a lot has happened, much of it related to the Budget Process and funding for Library Services. First and foremost, I would like to give a big THANK YOU to all of you who advocated to preserve library funding so that we keep our current services, hours, and staffing levels. I also want to give another big THANK YOU to our Mayor, Chris Hoy, and City Staff who helped find extra funds to help sustain us for another year. And a final thank you to the members of the Budget Committee and City Councilors who voted unanimously to support the proposal that included one-time funding for Library services. We are delighted to be able to maintain our current service levels, especially staff, through this year. I am hopeful that this time next year, the City of Salem, including our entire community, will have found a solution to the revenue problem that will support our current programs and services and allow the library to expand services, hours, and staffing to continue serving you better.
