Thank you to everyone who came out to vote on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. We’re grateful for our community’s continued support — the 2027 library budget was approved by the voters.

The approved 2027 library budget is $1,933,272, which includes $353,338 in previously approved capital debt service repayment. This represents a 7.48% increase over the 2026 budget and increases the tax levy by 14.10% — 11.28% above the Library’s allowable Tax Cap.

Voters also elected three trustees to the Library Board. Emily Zier and Ciera Moore were each elected to one-year terms, and incumbent trustee Lois Berkowitz was re-elected to a three-year term. One of the four seats up for election remains unfilled.

Thank you again for making your voice heard at the Ethelbert B. Crawford Public Library.
