Library Book Funding Cut
Posted by chedger on November 5th, 2009
Hi All,
On Tuesday Nov 10th the Warren County Board of Supervisors meets. They will be talking about book aid funding all libraries in Warren County. So far this funding has gone from $53,000 to $50,000 a year. Now they are talking about reducing that to $25,000 or even lower.
The amount each library gets is based on circulation. Crandall gets $30,000. We get about $2,500.00. Every other library in Warren county gets money as well. Even tho Crandall gets $30,000 the books they buy are available free to us through inter-library loan.
What can you do? Please call Gene Merlino at the town hall 696-2713. Just let him know you are concerned about funding for library book aid. One book goes out an average of 12 times (some a lot more). It is a good value for the money. Please be nice to Gene. The Town of Lake Luzerne and Gene are very supportive of the library.
