Services Partially Return For Brawley Library

Valley Press: 9.03.2020 BY Vincent Osuna
Library services will partially return
here after the City Council unanimously approved a resolution on Tuesday.
In order to finish with a balanced
fiscal year 2020-2021 budget — a budget heavily impacted by COVID-19 costs —
the council voted in July to not fund any library services until after year’s
end.
However, that changed with Tuesday’s
vote.
Locals can now check out books via
curbside pickup from the library’s Main Street branch. The library’s adult and family
literacy services have also returned. Both the Main Street and Del Rio
buildings remain closed to public access.
The $51,479 in funding for the pickup
and literacy programs was appropriated into the fiscal budget from donations
and grants.
The group Brawley Library Friends
donated $4,000 to fund the pickup program.

COVID budget cuts, Mello has been the only staff at the library. She is also
currently the city’s interim parks and recreation director. READ
