Do we have the resources (staff/money) to do this?  Will we cut other things to balance this in the budget?

Yes, we do have the resources to do this. We plan to utilize current vacancies to develop some of the new positions while providing additional training to existing staff. Also, by clarifying the role of access staff and engagement staff, and changing the responsibilities of the library aide (in the new model, this is the Access Specialist I) to include more circulation work, we plan to better utilize the current staff we have. Once we have completed the identification of the Library's programmatic needs, we will develop budget projections. While it is unlikely that we will need additional funding to cover the costs, we do have the option of reallocating funds should it be necessary.
