Correct current library

[anon-0o99]

The 600,000 would not be used for bricks and mortar...the money raised would be used for that. The tax payer's money would be used for computers, furniture and the like.

Would the Township Committee approve that expenditure? I'd sure like a straw poll of how they might vote for that. Lets have some offical comment from TC members please.

[$600,000-052s]

The $600,000 of tax dollars set aside by the library board for a new building is not a TC issue. The library is funded by your tax dollars at the minimum rate allowed by law (unless Cranbury chooses not to fund a library at all). The library board gets to decide what happens to the tax revenue that funds the library.

A little history...
Several years ago, when properties were re-assessed, the library received a huge influx of tax revenue and ended up with a large budget surplus. The board used some of the money to fund payroll, programs and services and also to set aside about $600,000 to go toward a new building. As revenue has dropped in recent years, the library has not been able to maintain some of the services and programs. However, the surplus money has already been set aside for the new building.

Then go to a TC meeting and raise the issue and ask for feedback.
