SECTION A -- BUDGET SUMMARIES AND COUNTY PROFILE
FY 2006 POLICY PRIORITY PROPOSAL
Department(s): Libraries
Policy
Priority: Community-based Library Programs at the Shirlington
Library
Funding for three months
is requested for 1.5 FTEs (new positions) at the new Shirlington Library and
for an existing Librarian position (vacant and unfunded) that will be
reclassified and transferred to Shirlington at the opening.
In addition to the
positions and funding requested in this proposal, three full-time positions,
currently in Materials Management, will be transferred to Shirlington. The availability of these three positions
and the unfunded, vacant position for which funding is requested resulted from
a major outsourcing of bibliographic services in FY 2004.
The larger complement is needed to manage the size of the building
(15,000 sq. ft. vs. 5,000) including security, increased circulation and
traffic (each expected to double in first year) and the programs required to
make the Shirlington arts focus a reality at opening, as well as long term. Libraries will be a major contributor to
the arts scene in Shirlington.
