Library | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Library's 2021 budget includes minimal adjustments for operating costs. The most notable change is the resulting consolidation of all library technology related expenses into one dedicated line item. A Library Service Review project was started in 2020 with the goal of engaging the community in a conversation about our core services in an effort to understand our community and member needs, and to be able to effectively serve them better. Room Rental revenue in 2020 decreased as a result of the Library hosting the temporary emergency overflow shelter, the pandemic related facility closure, and the resulting facility capacity restrictions and collection quarantine measures in place. 2020 saw the formal dissolution of the Library Foundation, with invested funds being transferred into the care of the Library Board. Using Library Reserve funds and Development Charges, a service enhancement in the form of a self-serve Book Kiosk at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre was installed in 2020. This alternative service model pilot project was put on hold due to the pandemic. 2020 also saw the completion of an upgrade to the Library’s Public Computers; switching services from a Linux based model to Windows and improving printing and payment systems.
