Library Budget Approved

The budget passed easily last week, 300-121 votes.

Board of trustees president Thomas Arangio was re-elected.

The board had approved a 2012-2013 buget with a tax levy of 1.98 percent, less than the 2 percent under by the new tax cap law.

According to Library Director Debbie Podolski's February report to the board, anticipated health insurance increases and other cost increases forced the library to make some cuts for next year.

Some standing resource orders were cancelled if the content was available through online database subscriptions and the library will be using emails rather than print newsletters/mailings to inform residents about announcements.
