2023 Proposed Budget
The Catskill Public Library, with its Main Branch at 1 Franklin St., and Palenville Branch at 3303 Route 23A, has a proposed budget of $1,017,604 for the calendar year 2023.
The tax levy portion of the budget is $918,706.00.
This spending plan enables your libraries to continue to invest in physical and electronic resources, while forecasting for expected increases in energy costs, personnel and building maintenance over the coming year.
Our focus is unwavering ~ be it in person, via zoom or digitally, our goal is to meet our community’s need by providing services, programming and materials to you, our Patron.
Please join us on May 4th at 6 PM, in the Catskill Senior HS Library, for our budget presentation to the taxpayers. Voting is to be held on May 17th, in the HS Gymnasium, between 1pm and 9pm.
If you’d like more information, contact Joan Miller, library bookkeeper, via email: bookkeeper@catskillpubliclibrary.org.
