The future of Anne Arundel County libraries looks brighter today after the unveiling of the proposed FY 2017 county budget by County Executive Steve Schuh.
What Happened
The County Executive proposed:
a $1 million increase in the library's material budget phased in over the next three years
$350,000 for repairs and renovations to library facilities
$180,000 for the creation of a new facilities master plan
$50,000 to open the Severn Community Library on Sundays from September through May
$175,000 for improvements to the Severn Community Library resulting from recommendations by the county's Local Development Council (LDC) which advises the County Executive on the needs of the communities surrounding the Maryland Live! Casino and the expenditure of video lottery terminal funds.
What Happens Next
The County Council will review the budget and hold public hearings to discuss the proposals in May with the final FY 2017 budget approved by June 15. See the Council's website for complete details.
