Budgets for four library funds for 2007 were approved by the Warsaw Community Public Library board Monday night.
The budgets include $2,247,937 for library operating supplies fund, $173,792 for a library improvement reserve fund, $376,494 for a library capital project fund, and $392,468 for a bond interest and redemption fund.
The board also approved holding a staff development day and closing the library Oct. 13, and closing the library for a half day Nov. 3 to allow staff to plan for the library's goals and objectives. The library will be open Nov. 3 from 2 to 6 p.m.
Library Director Ann Zydek gave a director's report and informed the board the library's task force has been meeting to look into long-range plans for library service.
"The meetings have been a learning process where we have looked at the broader picture in circulation and collection development," Zydek said.
She said the board will receive a report on future plans for the library at a meeting in December.
She reported the library held a book sale Aug. 12 and $1,000 was raised from the sale.
The board also approved a treasurer's report with a $987,298.17 balance remaining and three transfers from the 2006 budget. The transfers included $205 from building and maintenance supplies to other operating supplies, $2,500 from electricity to waste disposal services, and $3,000 from building and structure maintenance to equipment maintenance.
