Muskegon library board endorses Waukesha County 2027'2031 plan after debate over staffing minima
Summary
The Muskegon Public Library Board voted Feb. 17 to endorse Waukesha County's 2027'1031 Library Services Plan, which adjusts the county reimbursement formula and lowers some five-year minimums; trustees raised concerns about reduced full-time-equivalent (FTE) minimums and materials-per-capita thresholds.
