Fairfax County proposes another cut in the Public Library budget.

County budget documents released today show that the County Executive is proposing another 4.3% reduction in the budget of the Fairfax County Public Library for FY 2015.  Currently, the library's budget is $28.9 million in FY 2014 while the advertised budget for FY 2015 is $1.2 million less at $27.7 million.  There are no proposed cuts in overall library staffing although some departmental shifts. 

Here's the top line:
