anchorEstimated Schedule
Project started in and work will progress on an as needed basis.
anchorCost Change
Beginning in will be shifted to the Library operating budget to accommodate ongoing operating budget impacts from this project.
anchor Justification
This funding will allow the Department of Public Libraries, Department of General Services, and Department of Technology and Enterprise Business Solutions to respond to customer demands and library trends that require changes in the equipment and related furnishings of library buildings. This includes the provision of new equipment such as loanable laptops, upgraded self-checkout machines, security cameras, badge access doors, and modifying service desks to provide single points of service. It will also provide funding for necessary upgrades of electrical and data connections as improvements are made to the services and programs. This project will improve the level of service to the community by keeping the library system more current and responsive to the needs of the community. Rather than the current year cycle of renovations, funds will be available to modify technology on a much shorter timeframe.
