Library Budget News for 2012

On Tuesday, November 8, 2011, there will be a Library budget proposition on the ballot at the General Election. For next year, the Board of Trustees of the Tuxedo Park Library is requesting an increase of $7,012 in tax support for the Library’s operating budget. This is an increase of $1.93 per Tuxedo resident for the year – just over half a penny a day.

The proposed budget reflects our ongoing commitment to improve library service to the residents of Tuxedo while controlling costs.


Thank you,
Library Board of Trustees
