The Friends of Maxwell at the Memorial Day Parade

        

May 27, 2019
This was the fourth year we gave away balloons, spinners, flags, and bottled water at the Memorial Day Parade in the Village of Camillus. We also offered front row seating for Friends' members, library staff, and trustees. It was a picture perfect day. Thanks for your donations!

2. If a library wants to be on the ballot to request tax money from the school district taxpayers, how may they do it?
The library board should ask the applicable Board of Education to place a proposition on the school district ballot. The library board should prepare a valid petition to put the matter on the ballot. The Board of Education must honor the request and place the library's funding proposition on the ballot. A budget proposition, which has been properly submitted, must be presented to the voters. (Ed. Law §259 [1])
