2009 System Plan Approved
At their October meeting, the OWLS Board approved the 2009 System Plan and Budget. The 2009 Plan is not significantly different from the current Plan. Because OWLS financial position is healthy no major reductions in services are planned for 2009. However, given the difficult economy and the potential for future revenue decreases, we are doing some belt-tightening. The 2009 operating budget represents a 1.8% decrease from the 2008 operating budget.
I encourage you to take a look at the new Plan, especially the first six pages which describe the context in which the Plan has been developed. If you're into numbers and statistics you might also enjoy looking at page 2, which show how OWLS libraries compared with libraries in other systems in 2007.
As always, be sure to contact me with any questions or comments.
