The Library Board of Trustees will meet again at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 21. At the beginning of the meeting, the board will be holding a question and answer session about the upcoming budget vote for the library. We are asking the school district taxpayers for an increase. In these lean economic times we have seen the library become the center of the community for job searches, resume writing, and a place to hang out as well as a source of free programming for children. We need help. For more information, come to the Q&A night or check out our website at midyork.org/morrisville. We are open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. —
Michelle A. Forward is library manager at the Morrisville Public Library.
