LibraryLinkNJ Virtual Town Hall: FY19 Budget

LibraryLinkNJ Virtual Town Hall: FY19 Budget

Updated on 6/8/18: The Town Hall meeting recording is available on the Town Hall Meeting info page

 

There will be a LibraryLinkNJ Town Hall meeting on June 8. The purpose of the meeting is to inform the membership about the FY19 budget crisis, its impact on services, and the future sustainability of LibraryLinkNJ.

This meeting is open to all interested staff in LibraryLinkNJ member libraries, as well as to the general public. Future Town Halls will take place after the Membership Meeting and we will announce those dates and times as soon as we have scheduled them.

LibraryLinkNJ’s new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2018. The LibraryLinkNJ Executive Board has approved an FY19 (July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019) budget proposal for the Membership to review and approve at its annual Membership Meeting on Wednesday, June 13th.

Heading into Fiscal Year 2019 on July 1, 2018, LibraryLinkNJ’s existence is threatened by a budget crisis. If we can’t close the current budget gap of $370,000, the Executive Board will ask the membership to approve the dissolution of the Cooperative by June 30, 2019.

For more detailed information, please visit and sign up for updates on our support page.

Registration is required, as virtual seats are limited. We will send an access email to all registrants the day before the meeting.

Registration for participants and the waitlist is now filled. **If we have cancellations, we will send you the virtual meeting access information on Thursday, June 7.**

We will record the entire meeting, and will post the file here for you to access on June 8 immediately following the Town Hall.
