NEWARK — As reported by http://tapinto.net Flat library funding in the city’s proposed budget has prompted plans for a rally by the union representing the Newark Public Library’s workers. The rally is to be held on the steps of City Hall before the Sept. 5 public hearing on the spending plan.

The city’s business administrator this week gave no indication there would be an increase in public dollars dedicated to the library, despite a request from City Council that funds be boosted amid staffing shortages, reduced library hours, long-shuttered branches and crumbling buildings.
