Albuquerque libraries receive support.
On May 19, the Albuquerque City Council adopted a 1999-2000 budget which fulfilled Mayor Jim Baca's commitment to make library services a priority. This is the first genuine budget increase in six years. Although the Council initially rejected the proposed library increases, they responded to concerns expressed by interested citizens about the condition of the libraries. A press conference held by Friends for the Library President Scott Nary, past President Michael Basinger, and Library Advisory Board President Jim Medford was given widespread newspaper and television publicity. As part of the new budget, the Council passed a resolution calling for Sunday hours to be established at three branch libraries.
