Digital material, help at fingertips Make your voice heard in survey for Chandler library users A wealth of information—not just physical books—is available, as long as you have a valid Chandler Public Library card. Any Chandler resident with a valid card may access free digital material including books, magazines, music and online language courses, as well as assistance downloading and using the material. The material available includes thousands of e-books in fiction, nonfiction, young adult and children’s titles, and is available from the Greater Phoenix Digital Library, TumbleBooks and Axis 360. In addition, Zinio for libraries offers more than 300 popular magazines to download, including specialized magazines for car enthusiasts, woodworkers, cooks and more. Some Spanish titles are also available. DK Eyewitness Travel Guides and other reference guides are available for downloading through the Gale Virtual Reference Library. Cardholders can also access free music downloads with Freegal and online language courses through Mango Languages. Freegal offers access to about 7 million songs, including Sony Music’s catalog of artists, from modern hits to show tunes to specialized genres. The Chandler Hamilton Library also offers courses beginning in January to show users how to download iPad and iPhone apps and access material from

An online survey from Chandler’s Budget Office is available to residents to weigh in on the city’s budgetary priorities for the upcoming 2014-15 fiscal year, which begins July 1. The survey can be viewed at chandleraz.gov/budget and is accepted for completion and submission through Jan. 24. The results will be presented to the city manager as well as Mayor Jay Tibshraeny and the members of the City Council for consideration as they develop the 2014-15 budget. City officials are examining many economic factors as work begins on the upcoming fiscal year budget. In recent months, Chandler has helped lead the way in Arizona in starting new businesses creating jobs. Sales tax revenues have also increased, and Chandler has benefited from “slow but steady” improvement in the state and national economies. Meanwhile, part of the budget formulation process has been an ongoing review by Chandler management of the many programs and services the city provides to residents, businesses and organizations that

serve the community. The municipal organization continues to search for ways to grow even more efficient. The online Citizen Budget Survey provides residents with an opportunity to share opinions during the budget review process. This year’s survey asks for feedback on program and service priorities and capital project priorities for the city. Paper copies of the survey are available at the Chandler City Hall front desk, Chandler libraries, downtown Community Center and the Tumbleweed Recreation Center. The public will have several other opportunities to share their thoughts about the proposed budget with city leaders and staff prior to the adoption of the budget in June. In late February or early March, “Budget Connect,” an online budget forum, will allow residents and other stakeholders to ask questions and give input. Details on this event and other public budget hearings will be posted at chandleraz. gov/budget when they are available, or call the budget office at 480-782-2252 for the latest updates.
