1998-99 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
 
In 1999, the 150th anniversary of the Monterey Public Library will be celebrated.  To mark this sesquicentennial event, the Library is planning various programs, exhibits, and activities which will be funded with the Library Trust Fund.

The upgrade of the Special Services Coordinator position from part time to full time is included in this year's budget.  This will assist the Library in meeting the increasing demands for programs and services.

A new service we are planning to add is a public internet access program, with funding from the General Fund and Library Trust Fund.  Staff training, public orientation programs, and Library Web page design will be coordinated by a new regular part-time Internet/Youth Librarian.
