Original story:

Scranton Memorial Library is on the agenda at the next Board of Finance meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, July 18th, at 7 p.m. in Room A at Town Campus.

"Discussion with Scranton Memorial Library regarding the changes implemented with the Town Funding increase, a facility issues update, plans for fundraising and the Town relationship agreement," the agenda says.

Scranton Memorial Library received a 2.85 percent increase in its funding for 2012-2013. The increase was the subject of intense debate during the Board of Finance budget hearings, and following the final passage of the budget at town meeting.

Also on the agenda at the upcoming meeting is a special appropriation request for $49,502 for the payout of sick and vacation time for police and town retirees. [Editor's note: This is for police and town employees, not for library employees.]

The Board of Finance also will discuss and take action on a donation of $2,000 from the Madison Foundation Neighbor 2 Neighbor program for camp scholarships, and a donation from the Madison Foundation Neighbor 2 Neighbor program for the local relief fund.
