Please vote YES on November 6 to dissolve the Woodstock Public Library District
Our Message
• The Library District does not adequately represent Woodstock voters and taxpayers in its current structure. The Woodstock community would benefit from consolidation of services, eliminating the extra layer of government and taxation.
• The Library Trustees have repeatedly ignored community input and recommendations.
• Woodstock’s children, teens, adults and seniors would be better served by a library under the responsive stewardship of the Town Board.
• The Library building has suffered from neglect under the control of the Library District.
• The Town Board has a good track record at maintaining its physical plant and engaging with the community.
• The Library District should be dissolved and the Library incorporated as a Municipal Library under Town Board supervision. Consolidation is encouraged by New York State. The Town Board would be superior stewards of the Library.
Thank You
