Stony Creek Free Library

 On May 15, residents of the Hadley-Luzerne Central School District will vote for the annual school budget.  On the ballot will be an item authorizing an increase in the district’s annual contribution to the Stony Creek Free Library from $5000 to $6500.   The library serves not just Stony Creek but the entire school district, with services that range from what a library traditionally does to many programs, including, for children, the Summer Reading Program and the Dirty Dozen Garden Club plus free tutoring, and for the entire community numerous lectures, concerts, and presentations.  The  notable support the school district provides has not been increased in nine years, while expenses have risen considerably at the same time that library usage has grown tremendously. The additional $1500 would average out to 22¢  per parcel throughout the district.  When you vote for the school budget on May 15, please consider that a “yes” for the library is a “yes” for the community!
