Dear Residents,
Everyday hundreds of people visit our Library. We are a source of inspiration and information for all ages. We continually search for resources, services, and knowledge which will enrich your lives and direct our future.
On April 3, you will have an opportunity to vote on your Library’s budget. The proposed budget for FY12-13 includes a very modest increase, which complies with the tax cap. A typical home in Laurel Hollow, Lloyd Harbor, and Cold Spring Harbor will pay $20 more for the year, based upon the current tax rates set by the Town of Huntington and Nassau County, subject to minor adjustment in August 2012.
This budget will enable us to expand our print, eBook, audio, and DVD collections, thus decreasing the time residents wait for new or popular items. Attendance at library-sponsored programs for all ages has also been growing, and, if approved, the new budget will enable us to offer more cultural, environmental, and educational programs. We will also purchase eReaders and iPads for hands-on instruction. Next year’s budget also contains a generous donation from the Library Friends Foundation of $25,000, supporting programs for all!
The future of our world, our state, our county, and our community is in our hands. Let’s see challenges as opportunities and create a future to be proud of.
