Library Faces Few Cuts by Nancy LaFramboise Despite budget cuts, the ACC Library plans to offer the same op- erating hours to its patrons. Even with the possibility of a reduction in staff. working hours, the library je personnel to cover the open ACC librarian Dennis Muir said that Title I, a federal resource which supplies the library with funds for pruchasing material, was cut last fiscal term, Oct. 1-Sept. 30, from $2000 to $1200. This 60% cut will cause a reduction in book, newspaper, audio-visual and maga- zine material available to the pa- trons. The library does hope to maintain its subscription of present magazines. Muir says they have requested ~ $3000 for next year under the Title If program. However, the reply for the request will not.be known until weeks from now. ; The library is open Saturdays be- tween 11 and 3 but only an average of 4-5 patrons have been utilizing these hours. Since few people are taking advantage, the library may have to look into the feasibility of Saturday Openings. It may prove more sensible to apply the funds elsewhere in the department, The library plans to maintain its Satur- day: openings but the result may de- pend on how many students will utilize the weekend opening. Dur- ing the semester‘s final weeks the Saturday opening could prove to be valuable to students who are work-: ing on term papers or other unfin- ished work, PEER ipusceron 2 Gg EN oe ee be a |
