Will There Be a Troy Public Library After June 30th?

Library in Troy to stay open. Long-term funding unclear after council vote gives it reprieve. (Detroit News, 4/20/2011)

Excerpt:  City Manager John Szerlag agreed to continue operating the library, funded through June 30, after a commitment from the city council to work through the budget issues. Library administration had set the May 1 closure date to give staffers two months to inventory the collection.

The council will discuss library funding at April 25, May 2 and May 9 study sessions, said city attorney Lori Bluhm. Still, there are numerous issues to resolve on what services the library will offer after the current budget cycle, she said. A decision on the library is due by May 16, when the budget must be approved, according to the city's charter.
