Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh gets healthier; ’13 budget up by 3%; Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 12/18/12

Bill Zlatos, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review; Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh gets healthier; ’13 budget up by 3% : "The Carnegie Library has kept all 19 regular branches open, started a “pop-up” branch in Allentown last month and expanded hours, thanks in large measure to a new library tax, gaming table revenues and improved fundraising. On Monday, the system‘s board approved a 2013 budget of $28.7 million, which is 3 percent more than this year‘s $27.9 million budget... “Between that and the gambling money, you‘re talking about $3.7 million that didn‘t exist. They‘ve been very successful at implementing the strategy they put in place,” he said."
