Timberland Library Cuts to Bridge $3.8M Gap

Timberland Regional Library faces a $3.8 million budget shortfall and is responding with smart, community-sensitive cuts: 14 admin staff will work two fewer days monthly for four months, while leadership—including the interim director—takes pay reductions. This avoids layoffs and preserves benefits, after a previous plan sparked public backlash. The library’s goal: save $220K in six months through restructured roles and reduced salaries, while eyeing long-term fixes like a potential levy proposal to truly stabilize finances.
