The Effingham Pubilc Library Board reviewed the fiscal year budget and strategic plan at this week's meeting.

Library Director Amanda McKay said two major items in the budget picture include paying off the mortgage on the library building on North 3rd Street downtown, as well as salary adjustments to bring pay into line with the approaching $15/hour minimum wage.

Family support was mentioned by McKay as a key item in the strategic plan. She said family support is significant to many in the Effingham community, and said they want to take steps not to lose that support. She said areas of interest include education, diversity, leadership, and community.
