Picturing new chapter for libraries
The trustees of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library remain undeterred.
They see the creation of a special library legislative district as a way to stabilize funding and end the type of budget uncertainty that led to the closure of 15 libraries during the “red” and “green” budget years of County Executive Joel Giambra.
“This puts the budget in the hands of the people,” said Mary Jean Jakubowski, the library’s director. “The voters of Erie County would make the determination as to whether or not they would secure a budget for us.”
