Library Board approves FY27 budget, requests $20,000 from Marine Passenger Fund
Summary
The Petersburg Borough Library Advisory Board approved a FY27 General Fund budget that rises from $552,738 to $592,335 (+$39,597), and requested $20,000 from the Marine Passenger Fund to support cruise‑season cleaning and supplies.
The Petersburg Borough Library Advisory Board on Feb. 24 approved the library’s FY27 General Fund budget, which increases from $552,738 to $592,335 — a $39,597 rise largely attributed to higher personnel and benefit costs tied to internal position shifts. The Board voted to forward the proposal to the Borough Manager for inclusion in the municipal budget process.
Board discussion noted a slight reduction in the allocation for physical library materials as periodicals and collections shift toward community space, and that services and charges remain largely flat with minor increases in professional services and utilities offset by reduced repair and maintenance costs. The Board also approved a request for $20,000 from the Marine Passenger Fund to cover cleaning services and supplies needed during the cruise ship season.
