Have just finished what I suspect will be my last annual budget board meeting for the Oak Park library, since it’s unlikely that I’ll run again for this seat in the spring. It’s been a tremendous education for me, learning what goes into running a big library (with two branches), and I just want to give a shout out here to our library staff, who are just brilliant.
Among other things, we’ve had no documented cases of Covid transmission from the library in seven months, which speaks to the great thought and care that staff have put into health-related precautions, while still providing exceptional service to the public, expanding home delivery options, online programming, and much more.
Congratulations to David J. Seleb, on behalf of the entire team.
