Essex County Library Strike Results In Savings

Essex County libraries have a surplus because of the on-going strike.

The Chief Librarian says the 2016 surplus of almost $800,000 will be returned to the county and re-invested.

County councillors say the money can off-set operational costs like rising wages.

The Essex County Library Board is freezing its budget for 2017, and a cultural audit is also on the way to re-engage with the community.
