September closed the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with 25% of the year
lapsing. Expenditures were at 25% and revenue generated was at 19% of
projections. Library CIP requests and the Operating Budget with requested
Improvement Packages have been submitted. The Board approved the FY
2018 budget request.
• Although downloadable materials have increased 13% in circulation, the
check-out of other library materials is down 9% compared year-to-date to
2015.
• The Maker Space should be open within a week or two. A Grand Opening is
scheduled for January 21. If all donors are available, a private reception will
be held on Friday, January 20.
• The Dubuque County Library System Board of Trustees is open to a meeting
with a C-SPL subcommittee to further discuss collaboration in the delivery of
library services. Mike Willis and Patty Poggemiller were assigned to the
C-SPL committee.
• On October 20 the Library was recertified as a Petal Project building.
• The results of an energy audit were presented to the Board. The Library has
performed very well in the management of energy resources; however, an
opportunity remains to change some lights to LED. The library's overall
performance was illustrated in the following chart:
