Library presentation features contingent and non-contingent budgets

The Milton Public Library trustees share the presentation that Will Adamcyzk presented to the Milton Warrant committee this past January on contingent and non-contingent budgets for the FY 2017 contingent and non-contingent budgets.

Highlights include:

žCurrent funding does not meet current demand.

• Not enough staff to provide adequate eBook training and other Library workshops
• Waiting lists for story times and other children’s programming
• Library meeting spaces are near capacity most afternoons and evenings
• Library tables and study spaces are near capacity most afternoons; there has been an influx of tutor usage of spaces as well
• Waiting lists for adult creative programs
• Waiting list for school visits
• Waiting list for off site book discussions
• Increased wait times for print and eBook materials
