Library Employees May Get A Pay Increase, But Library Service Could Be Reduced

Show Notes

www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Although their request for funding to raise the minimum wage of its employees was turned down by Gwinnett County government, the Gwinnett County Public Libraries system is moving forward with the raises for this year by using contingency reserve funds.

But, the system’s executive director, Charles Pace, issued a warning on Monday night: the library system’s can’t afford to use reserve funds in the longterm to pay for the higher salaries.

If the library system cannot find ongoing funding for the increased minimum wage on an annual basis in 2023 and thereafter, then library patrons could eventually see fewer services in the coming years.
