Budget Question # 113: How much revenue does the Law Library receive, and what would it cost to transfer it out of the Courthouse into existing Alexandria Library System space? Do they receive supplemental funding from the City? (Vice Mayor Jackson)
Response:
The Alexandria Law Library’s FY 2023 expenditure budget totals $73,000. The FY 2023 revenue sources for the Alexandria Law Library are $40,000 in fees for users that access Law Library material and $33,000 from the City in funding through a General Fund transfer to the Law Library.
The Alexandria Library noted that the request would require more research and benchmarking before a detailed assessment could be provided. The Alexandria Library would need to confer with both the Library Board and the Library Friends group due to space constraints at existing Library locations and the potential impacts on users and collections. Additionally, it will require time to scope and scale the cost of moving and maintaining space for the Law Library, especially if the Alexandria Library’s existing spaces are unable to accommodate the Law Library’s space needs.
