The city council approved department’s budgets Monday night. As I mentioned, this year we submitted a special request to turn our part-time teen librarian position into a full-time position. The request was approved. This means that Jessica will start full-time July 1, 2017. I am very excited for what this means for our services to teens–who, you may recall, make up our second largest cohort of cardholders when considered by age. Please give a high-five to Jessica when you see her.
