Link to November 10 Jamestown Post Journal article.Excerpt:
Catherine Way didn't think the budget situation for the James Prendergast Library could get any more precarious.
She was wrong.
Ms. Way, the library's director, spoke before the Jamestown City Council during its Nov. 3 budget workshop and said library officials are ''already scrambling'' to make up the difference between the amount they requested in the 2009 budget and the amount actually included in Mayor Sam Teresi's executive budget.
Library officials asked for $385,020 in the 2009 budget - a 3.5 percent increase, or $13,020, more than the library received in 2008 - but the 2009 executive budget included only $372,000. The library was given $370,000 in 2006 and 2007.
