  • Annual Report 2010 Brochure
    Annual Report 2010 Birmingham Public Library Annual Report 2010 o paraphrase Charles Dickens these are the best of times and the worst of times for the Birmingham Public Library. It is the worst of times because the library’s budget has been slashed for Fiscal Year 2011 and there is no relief in sight. The library’s acquisitions budget Twas cut 48 percent. The City of Birmingham’s Volunteer Retirement Incentive Plan (VRIP) netted a loss to the library of 25 positions (from a total of 170 full time positions) held by long time experienced library staff. The Mayor’s Office has at this time given us permission to fill only twelve of these positions. The loss of these 25 employees is greatest in the area of leadership. For many years the Birmingham Public Library (BPL) has depended on a leadership team made up of ten coordinators who oversee a function of the library or a geographical area of branches and public service. Six of the retirees were coordinators and the City will allow us to fill only one, the Information Technology Coordinator. In addition we will not be allowed to fill the second Associate Director position. The loss to our leadership team is almost fifty per cent. From a team of thirteen we will be a team of seven. Cuts to the budget of the Jefferson County Library Cooperative threaten BPL because the Cooperative provides the backbone of our day to day operations – our online library catalog, Internet access, and much more. These are the best of times for the Birmingham Public Library because we have the finest staff and board remaining who have the intelligence, creativity, and determination to rise to the many challenges of this crisis and continue the excellent service that is BPL’s tradition.
