Ogdensburg voters pass referendum for $350K in library funding

OGDENSBURG — A referendum to provide $350,000 in funding to the Ogdensburg Public Library passed Tuesday by a vote of almost two to one.
The referendum to provide funding to the library was unofficially 770 to 395, before any absentee ballots were counted.
“We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we’ll have stable funding and that is absolutely wonderful,” Ogdensburg Public Library Executive Director Penny J. Kerfien said.
The referendum was needed by the library because the city announced that this year was the last year it would provide funding to the library located at 312 Washington St. Library officials said it takes roughly $350,000 a year to operate the facility and to provide programming.
