New board of Bridgeville library looks to expand facility's influence. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 1/17/2013)
$4,000,000 facility opened in 2011. The Bridgeville Public Library was previously located in the borough's old train station.
According to the board president, the library is looking for sustainable sources of funding to support the library's operations in a larger facility.
The library is open 35 hours per week. (Are the "new" hours an addition or a subtraction?)
An brief overview of the Bridgeville Public Library from the 2010 Pennsylvania public library statistics (latest available)
- 5.6 full time equivalent employees (1.0 FTE professional)
- $88,701 total revenues
- $54,740 local
- $20,341 state
- $13,620 other
- 20,110 items in collection
- 65,117 annual circulation
- 6 public access Internet computers
Like many Pennsylvania communities, including the one in which I grew up, Bridgeville's population loss resembles the slow leak of air from a tire.
