For the first time since I started working at BPL...

Library funding is going to be up, slightly, from the previous year!

WATERSLIDES FOR EVERY BRANCH.

Okay, wait.

ADEQUATE STAFFING FOR EVERY BRANCH.

Okay, wait.

MORE OR LESS THE STATUS QUO, WITH SLIGHTLY LESS ANXIETY.

Yeah, I'll take it.

It is definitely a lot nicer than I had expecting -- the first budget proposal had a $33 million budget cut for BPL.

I didn't expect it to be that bad, because they always propose terrible cuts and then revise them to less terrible cuts so they can say "Look, we didn't cut as much as we said we were going to!", but I sure didn't expect it to be this good.
