ISLAND PARK LIBRARY BUDGET INFORMATION

THE  F. A. C. T. S

The administration and staff of the Island Park Public Library work hard to bring the community superior customer service, while taking into account their fiduciary responsibility.

Financial Integrity.  The Island Park Library follows a strict purchasing and procurement policy as defined by State Education Law, in order to ensure that the best pricing is solicited for all services and products purchased.  In addition, the Board of Trustees reviews all expenditures in detail as a check on all Library spending.

Accountability:  The Island Park Library Board of Trustees employs an external accounting firm to perform annual audits on the Library's financial transactions attesting to the fact that the Library manages its finances in a fiscally sound manner, and that proper controls and procedures are in place and are being followed.

Community:  The Library is a place where children, adults and teens gather to take advantage of our growing number of programs. Residents also utilize the Library to sit, relax and read, do homework, study, play in the Children's Room, use our computers and attend our growing number of programs.

Tax Dollars at Work:  Equipment and supplies are purchased through the Office of General Services of the State of New York ensuring that the Library pays competitive prices for equipment and supplies.  In addition, the Library is a member of the ALIS Consortium which allows us to share costs for our circulation system, Online Catalog, online databases and training.

Service:  Customer service is our first priority. We have a full range of services, including the newest adult and children's books, DVDs, music, audio books, programs, computer access, curriculum-related assistance, outreach services, readers' advisory, and more. These services are provided through the hard work and dedication of our professional and friendly staff.
