Meeting On Library Funds

The Trenton Public Library’s nonprofit Friends group will meet at the library at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. 

This is an important meeting at which the future of the library and funding options will be discussed, said an announcement for the meeting. 

The library’s future was imperiled in 2012 when one of its three local funding sources, the Dade County Board of Education, opted an abrupt end of all support. An outpouring of donations made up for the immediate shortfall, but as it stands the library is funded only through the end of its fiscal year this June.  Of its other two sources of revenue besides the B of E, the city of Trenton is currently considering its level of support and the Dade County government, though it has vowed not to let the library close entirely, has reiterated often that it is already contributing all it can.
