Library director Mary Danko told the Board of Finance the Fletcher Free Library will proceed with two part-time position eliminations in FY26 and expects to absorb some functions via central city services while continuing safety and outreach partnerships.
Danko said the library’s part-time financial assistant and part-time computer assistant positions were eliminated in recent reductions. She said many financial functions will be taken up through modern gov and the new Department of Finance & Administration, while technical help may be handled by other staff at peak times or via appointments when a technology librarian is not on duty.
