HOME
As we present the new 2009-2010 budget for your consideration, please know we are very sensitive about the economic challenges we face together. And, we would like to thank you again for your overwhelming support during this past year, for without your involvement and approval, we could not offer the wide array of services that are available to our community family. You are attending programs and special events in record numbers, bringing your children to story hours, using our computer resources, and coming in just to read books and magazines on a more frequent basis.
Our library will be even more of a community center in the next year. Expanded programs and books, including a rotating foreign language collection, increased computers, more tai chi and yoga, an expanded career center and movie night at the library are among the exciting new offerings for 2009-2010!
Our budget includes an increase in the book, audiovisual and electronic media lines that represent almost half of the increase in this year’s budget. Availing ourselves of a leasing option for computers will give us more computers and save on maintenance costs.
The total increase in the budget is 2.67% which represents an increase of approximately $7 per year to the homeowner with property assessed at $500,000.
Please join us for a budget hearing on Tuesday, May 12 at 7:00 PM in the all-purpose room at the library.
We encourage you to vote on Tuesday, May 19, 2009.
Hillside Public Library Board of Trustees
Maura Rossi, President, Ruth D. Bauer, Peter Pino, Palma Pursino, Kathleen Seyfried
