The Counselor
The hat you put on when it's the library and the commons that raise a town.
The shared places — the library, the programs, the small line items that make a town livable — are usually the first cut and the last defended, because no one is tracking them until they're already gone.
Anyone wears this hat
A library regular, a parent who relies on summer programs, anyone who benefits from the parts of a town that aren't for sale.
What it covers
Community resources, programming, and the commons.
What your Chief of Staff does
Tracks programming and budget cuts before they land, not after, so a cut is a thing you can still speak to.
What you get
- Community-resource watch — Programming and budget lines monitored ahead of cuts.
