Last month, the Board of Trustees adopted the 2009/2010 Library budget. This year we are proposing a 1.98% increase ($5 more annually for a home with a market value of $500,000.)

In these trying economic times, your library remains a great value. Where else can you rent DVDs and video games for free? We offer a myriad of programs: concerts, lectures, movies, exercise classes and children's story times. In response to the economic crisis, the Library now offers free career coaching and we are in the process of developing a Career Center.

Make sure you are registered to vote by May 14, 2009. Vote on Tuesday, May 19 from 7 am to 9 pm at South Side High School.

The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce a policy change beginning July 1, 2008. All video rental fees are eliminated – forever! So come on in and get your DVDs and VHSs for the Independence Day weekend – all at no charge. Now, for the fine print: overdue fines still apply per item per day -- $2.00 for DVDs and $1.00 for VHSs.

The Board of Trustees and staff of the Library wish to thank you for your continued support in approving the 2008/2009 Library budget. Congratulations to Trustee Bill Murray who has been re-elected to the Board of Trustees.

The coming year promises to be filled with new and exciting ideas, programs and offerings.

At its April meeting the Board of Trustees adopted the 2008/09 Library budget. The Board proposed an increase of 3.34%, most of which reflects contractual obligations. This figure translates into about a $7 increase per household for a family residing in a home with an adjusted market value of $900,000.

Voting is at South Side High School on May 20th. The polls are open from 7 am to 9 pm.
Please remember to take the time to cast your vote.

We are pleased to announce that the proposed 2007/2008 Library budget has been approved by the voters. Congratulations to Trustee April Wexler who has been re-elected to a three year term and to Charles Kelleher who has been elected to the Board of Trustees in a write-in vote.

We are looking forward to serving the community in another successful and productive year.

The RVC Library Board revised its 2007/08 budget figures to reflect a 1.2% decrease in the original budget, from 6.1% to 4.8%, by increasing the estimated revenue line. Contractual salary and health insurance obligations represent the major portion of this year’s tax proposal. A family residing in a home with an adjusted market value of $900,000 can expect a rate increase of about $20 for the year.

Please vote on May 15th at South Side High School. The polls are open from 7 am to 9 pm.
