The city’s library board is refusing to cut $800,000 from its budget and will leave it up to city council to close branches or reduce hours.
Coun. Alan Halberstadt, board chairman of the library, told a news conference Friday that the city’s demand that the library cut 10 per cent of its budget is unreasonable.
Council, which begins final deliberations on its 2008 budget Tuesday, wants the library board to achieve the cuts without closing branches or reducing hours.
