It has been brought to our attention from the Auditor's office of an error in the assessment of the library's levy during the 2015 - 2018 tax collection years.

The error has been corrected and will not affect the assessments of the levy that was renewed on November 5th.

“We were distressed to learn that an error impacted the correct assessment of the library’s levy,”said Library Executive Director Aimee Fifarek. “We care deeply about our community and want every voter to be confident they can have a voice in our service. We are relieved to know that Mr. Meacham and his staff were able to determine that the library did not receive any funds inappropriately. We thank the Auditor’s Office for the research they did to identify the matter and for the thoroughness and transparency with which it was addressed.”
