Notice from Mayor Sean M. Spiller
Mayor Spiller's statement on fully funding the Montclair Public Library budget request.
"As we proceed through the budget process, I’m pleased to announce that through collaboration with Library Director Janet Torsney, Board President JoAnn McCullough, and the library board, we have been able to craft a budget proposal that meets the library's full request of $500,000 in discretionary funding above the mandated appropriation of $2,887,767. This investment will help the library to continue to provide top-notch services to all Montclair residents.
The Montclair ideal means ensuring all Montclair residents have access to high-quality services while maintaining financial sustainability. I am grateful for the efforts of our interim library director and the board. Working together, we are making progress and will continue to make so much more."
Interim Library Director Janet Torsney said, "Working together with Mayor Spiller and in partnership with the Council, we have developed a budget we can be proud of in an extraordinarily difficult time for municipalities and libraries across the state. This budget will allow us to continue to serve the residents of Montclair with high-quality facilities and resources."
