The Dell Rapids Library Board approved the library’s 2026 budget proposal, which the director described as a modest 2.2% overall increase that moves funds between line items to cover supplies, travel and training, and planned wage increases.
The director told the board the proposal "includes the wage increases for Kinsey and Cassie" that exceed the personnel manual 3% cap and that the board signaled preliminary support to budget for those increases now; the first official reading of the budget is scheduled for the city meeting in September. Board members moved, seconded and approved the proposal by voice vote.
