City studies options for branch libraries
Thursday, October 16, 2008
TRENTON -- City council members plan to weigh proposals that would keep neighborhood branch libraries open at least part of the time.
A three-member council committee has been formed to make recommendations to the entire council.
South Ward Councilman Jim Coston, who previously said he would introduce a measure to increase funding for the library, said he would wait until the committee makes its recommendations.
Council president Paul M. Pintella said he is looking for the library to complete audits for the past three years and for the two nonprofits dedicated to the library to commit to increased fundraising.
He also said the library board may benefit from a feasibility study on the branch libraries.
Pintella noted that the library is paying $30,000 more per week to continue staffing the branches.
