D.C. Library Gets $2-Million Budget IncreaseThe District of Columbia city council approved May 14 nearly $2 million in additional FY 2005 funding for the cash-strapped D.C. Public Library.The system, which has been operating under reduced hours to deal with budget cuts, will get an additional $1.2 million in its operating budget and an extra $750,000 in capital funds beginning in October. The library is also under consideration to receive an extra $1.7 million, officials say, which would bring the total increase to $2.9 million. Interim Director Richard L. Jackson said the funds would go toward restoring branch hours from 40 to 54 hours a week as well as to the materials budget and support services. Posted May 28, 2004. |
