The library presented the $2.3 million budget to city council on l got a look at the proposed $2.3 million budget Thursday night.
Library Chief Executive Officer Gary Baumbach said the environment of the library is changing very rapidly.
"We are find that our data processing needs are becoming increasingly costly. People enjoy our technology but they also expect it to be reliable and to be there," Baumbach said, "in order to do that you need good maintenance, good maintenance contracts to maintain that and within that budget there was some money to do that as well."
The proposed budget sets aside an additional $29,000 for building maintenance and collections and $55,000 for salaries and benefits.

Council will vote on the budget next month.
