Library Director
Eleni Glykis

PERTH AMBOY – Near the end of the 4/18/16 Budget Hearing Reviews, one of the Council Members noticed the new Library Director Eleni Glykys sitting in the audience. She wasn’t on the agenda and they inquired why she was there.

Glykys responded, “I received an email requesting that I be at the budget review.”

Since she was there, they told her if she wanted to report on anything, she could.

Glykys was happy to report that she was able to cut the budget by $12,000. “We eliminated microfiche, which is outdated technology; we have stockpiled it. We kept the microfilm because it contains very old issues of newspapers. Some of the magazines were eliminated because people can print out a lot of the articles digitally.”
