May/June 2011 For Your Information 2011-2012 Budget Vote & Trustee Election May 17, 2011 M essage from the L ibrary Board of Trustees In the nearly two years that the new library has been open, there has not been an increase in the operating budget. Grants, LIPA rebates, solar panels and a geo-thermal system, combined with careful budget planning, have enabled the Trustees to keep the expense lines in check. This year we are faced with costs outside of our control – the New York State Retirement System funding requirement alongside of increases to health insurance premiums. The Board of Trustees has presented a 2% increase in the budget for the coming fiscal year (see details on page 2). The result is an estimated $8.82 annual increase for a home assessed at $40,000. This is an estimate as the 2011-2012 tax rates are not available until August 2011 – after the start of the budget year in July. For further information about how the tax rate is calculated and the final assessed valuation of the town’s property values, visit this New York State website: http://www.orps.state. ny.us/pamphlet/taxworks.htm. missing something special. Visit our updated website at http:// sayvillelibrary.org for the Program Calendar and a host of other services. Fourteen thousand (and growing) library members all recognize that Sayville Library is the best value around. Circulation numbers continue to increase as do interlibrary loans. That’s right - as a Sayville Library cardholder you have access to the libraries throughout Suffolk County with a combined collection of over eight million books, movies and music. Most importantly, your Sayville Library staff is second to none in their abilities and eagerness to assist you and ensure your visit is a productive one. When you go to the polls on May 17th, you will be electing a Library Trustee for a five year term. The incumbent is Sharon Lippman. Please remember to vote on Tuesday, May 17th, from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM at Sayville High School on Brook Street. The public is always welcome to attend Library Board meetings scheduled on the 2nd Monday of each month. Thank you for your continued support. Brendan J. McCurdy, President Mary Lou Centeri, Vice President John Patin, Secretary Sharon Lippman, Deputy Secretary Linda Halliday, Trustee If you haven’t visited your library recently, please do so! New services such as Quick Flicks have been well received. E-readers are now available for that long vacation that requires lots of reading material in an easy to carry format. Our E-readers are loaded with 100 classics and the latest New York Times bestsellers. The 24/7 mailboxes provide for easy pickup of materials when the library is closed.
