JAMESTOWN – Residents who want to help the Prendergast Library develop a plan to close a six-figure budget gap for 2016 will want to attend a follow-up meeting on Tuesday.
A fundraising meeting has been scheduled at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday to discuss ideas proposed recently at a public forum and responses to a follow-up survey.
The meeting is open to the public, and anyone with additional suggestions of how the library can raise money to meet a budget deficit is welcome to attend.
Last week the library announced it would be making several adjustments to its budget in order to close the $150,000 budget gap. That includes laying off one full time position as well as closing the library on Sundays. The library board is also considering the possibility of auctioning off portions of the library’s $3.17 million art collection, which several residents have voiced opposition to.
The meeting will be held in the Fireplace Room of the library and is open to the public.
