Library Grows, But Next Budget Won't

Warsaw Community Public Library will work under a budget next year almost identical to this year's despite seeing its building triple in size. The library's proposed 1998 budget is $1,436,054 - a 5 percent rise over the current year. The budget will remain similar by several moves approved by the library board on Monday.Those moves include: • Significantly reducing the amount of money collected for the library improvement reserve fund.In recent years, the fund collected upward of $100,000.With the expansion project completion in sight, the board expected to need only about $10,000 in additional money. • The board was able to save about $82,000 from the current budget, which will be applied to next year's operation. • The library kept several positions vacant in the past year and saved additional salary money when new employees replaced long-time employees with higher salary levels.
