The budget adopted by the board this Tuesday, December 21, 2011 allocates $10,000 to purchase books, a spending item that had been cut for 2010. It should be noted that the 2009 budget was $12 133 for that item and the standard referred to in Québec is $ 24 377.
A budget of 2.6 million has also been planned to build a new library in 2013, should the project be received by the Ministry of Culture, Communications and the Status of Women. The board said it was aware it had to apply as soon as possible.
Furthermore, the population was informed of a tax increase of over 20% for the year 2011.

A Small Step for the Library - Some Hope for the Russell House
At the last council meeting of Brownsburg-Chatham held on the 6th of December was adopted a resolution to accept the letter of intent to purchase the building said Roussell.
It is an offer from the Maison de la famille, for which the committee has been reunited by Mr. Gilles Desforges. He has indeed found people to revive the project. The tender offer is conditional (financing, engineering report, contractors, insurance) and for a period of 6 months. There would be opportunity to partner with other organisations to occupy the house. A story to be continued.
Another resolution adopted at the same meeting was the amendment to the hiring of the loan officer at the public library. After verification, it is an increase in working hours of one of the staff. So it's a small step towards getting back to the situation that prevailed last year. They'd just need to hire a third person and bring back the budget to purchase books to get us back at where we were. The story is always, of course, to follow.
The budget will be adopted December 21, 2010. We will report back at that time.
Have a good weekend!
