The Goshen Public Library is looking to tighten its budget, which could mean fewer open hours.
Andrew Waters, the library’s executive director, explained that like other agencies funded largely by property taxes, revenues from those taxes have continued to decrease. Much of that is due to the recession, lower assessed values on local properties and tax caps, he said.
Sixty-five percent of the library’s revenues are funded by property taxes. That revenue has dropped by 22 percent since 2008, he said.
