Library Seeking more money from the City

Kenora Public Library is warning of service cuts if it doesn't get an increase in funding from the City of Kenora.

The Library Board made a deputation to council yesterday, asking for a hike in their 2011 budget.

Marg Curtis-Poirier is the chair of the library board and says even though they did receive a 33 thousand dollar increase in their budget this year, it will still leave them with a lot of red ink.

The library presented three proposals to council, one of which included  the closure of the Keewatin Branch of the library, if there was no increase in funding.
