And, 1,570,467 items were circulated last year. "Our 100th anniversary is a significant milestone in the hisâ€" tory of the Oakville communiâ€" ty.," said Duguid. "Libraries are ageless. It‘s like a big time capâ€" sule that is constantly being opened for its wealth of inforâ€" mation, and constantly being replenished in response to our ever changing community. The library has become many things to many people of all ages. And, we‘re coping with rapidly changing technology in this age of technology. "But, the future is not withâ€" out challenge." About 90% of the library‘s budget comes from local â€" taxation, Duguid explained, stressing "we‘re proâ€" gressing well with fewer dollars and budget cuts. "Over the past couple of years we‘ve had to reduce our public service hours, we have not been replacing staff (49 full time and 98 partâ€"time for all four branches), our materials budget has declined yet costs are up. There‘s worn carpet in the high traffic areas such as Central‘s children‘s department, and carts overloaded with books waiting to be shelved."
