Events included a multi-day discussion on renewable energy organized by two of the Section chapters (CS & PES) and a unique murder mystery night sponsored by our Women in Engineering (WiE) group. Section events tend to slow down during the holidays, but there are still several to consider in December. It has been a very unique year for all of us. We had to quickly adjust to virtual meetings. It is anticipated that Section activities will largely be virtual through at least summer 2021. We are hoping that we can develop activities that can be appealing to members virtually in the first half of the year, and then transition to a mix of in person and virtual events later in the year. I’m confident that our members will find ways to engage whatever the circumstances facing us. Also in 2021, several international conferences are coming to our Section. They are still being finalized and the dates are subject to change due to COVID. Look for exciting announcements in future issues of the Wavelengths. Thank you for reading. Stay safe everyone and I look forward to 2021.

  • B&ECPL Monthly Report
    B&ECPL Monthly Report March 2019 New York State Budget – The 2019 New York State Budget is now finalized with the following impacts noted for Library Aid Programs and the State Aid for Library Construction Program: Library Operating Aid: Statewide, at $96.7 million, these funds are unchanged from last year. B&ECPL’s share, $2.25 million, is unchanged. State Aid for Library Construction: Statewide, at $14.0 million, this is a reduction of $20 million (59%) from the 2018 allocation. This will reduce funding for B&ECPL and member library projects by $916,946, from last year’s $1,558,809 down to $641,863. The Construction Aid cuts will impact funding available for projects in the next project application cycle. In addition, $20 million in funding has been allocated for the 2020 Census complete count efforts, whereby public libraries are noted in the appropriation as eligible to receive a portion of this funding. It is not known at this time the amount being specifically allocated to public libraries. Funds will be administered by the Empire State Development Corporation. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. This writer anticipates being appointed to the Erie County Complete Count Committee. Also noted in the budget is Targeted Aid. This aid, $15 million, is allocated for school districts, public libraries and not-for-profit institutions, divided equally between the Senate, Assembly, and Governor. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. Libraries are being encouraged to advocate for a portion of this funding. A significant change in this year’s budget includes the granting of the Legislature’s authority to conduct mid-year budget cuts.
