Hi,
I attended the Warren County Board of Supervisors Meeting. It looks like the funding will get cut to $25,000. The decision has not been made yet. I was impressed. At the beginning of the meeting, public comments were allowed. Only four people (myself included) got up to speak. Each one wanted to talk about the library book aid and why it is important to them. So out of a multi-million dollar budget, we have people ready to speak up about $25,000 being cut for libraries. Maybe that is because libraries have trimmed the fat a long time ago. Any cuts really hurt us, we don’t have another pocket to go to.
Gene Merlino did tell me that he got a lot of emails and phone calls about not cutting library book aid. You all did a good job there. It would not hurt to call him one more time and say thanks. If you would like to help even more, you could call Frederick Monroe, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors at 761-6536. While he doesn’t MAKE the decision, his opinion counts. Thank you. You all did good with phone calls and emails, thank you.

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.

On June 13th we had our first annual Community Day at the library.  Thank you to all who helped get the place looking spiffy!  Click here to look at the pictures.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/cch22/sets/72157621793350048/

Thursday the book club picks up their new book.  It is Stephen Hunter’s Hot Springs. Packed with page-turning action, sex, sin and crime, Stephen Hunter’s Hot Srings is at once a relentlessly violent and deeply touching story.
The book club is open to all.  Order your book today.  You have approximately one month to read it.

Hi,
    It’s me, your friendly library director Cynthia.   It occured to me that I might not have to spend money on things, for the library, that other people would like to find a good home for.
    For instance, some people get the newspaper everyday with a rubber band tied around it.  What do you do with all those rubber bands?  Give them to the library.    We could use them to put groups of on- hold books together.
    If you have a stash of pens and pencils in every room maybe you might like to clean out a few?  We go through our share.
    Did your kids use most of a sprial notebook and now need  new ones for school?  Rip out the used pages.  We can use the rest of the pages for computer sign in.
    Do you buy books and not borrow them from the library?  Donate them here while they are still new.   Some we can add to the collection so dozens of people can read them.  The best way to recycle your books!
    We could also use a clip board.
 Remember the craft fair and HUGE book sale is this Saturday!
