What you need to know before you vote for library trustees
New City has an excellent library and staff, and a $5 million budget. For the past few years, the business of the library has been controlled by an inexperienced trustee majority with personal agendas.
The board majority has interfered in the day-to-day operation of the library – work that should be performed by library professionals.
The board majority has made poor hiring decisions, and granted too much power for discretionary spending without the required disclosure of those expenses.

The New City Library Watch (www.nclibrarywatch.org) was organized to inform the community about the actions of the Library Board, to support qualified trustee candidates, and to encourage the public to participate in the elections of trustees. The overwhelming support of the public in last year’s trustee election demonstrated that the public is aware of the existing problems with the Board and wants to change its direction. The election of 3 new trustees to be held on December 11th is the critical point at which we can elect trustees who will serve the public openly, honestly, and ethically. We urge you to vote for these 3 highly qualified candidates who have the dedication, experience, and expertise to serve on the Library Board.
