The Community Library Network is over $200,000 in the hole and has until the end of the month to agree on how to fix it. Tom Hanley, Rachelle Ottosen and Tim Plass want extreme budget cuts that would include reducing staff, eliminating programs, cutting hours, possibly closing some libraries, delaying purchase of outdated equipment and zero tax increases. Director Alexa Eccles explained that it will be nearly impossible to make enough cuts to balance the budget. Accepting a tax increase with less drastic budget cuts would best serve the community’s needs.
