Ogdensburg mayor will vote no to library funding; says library will succeed w/significant changes in 2022

Monday, April 26, 2021 - 5:58 pm BY JIMMY LAWTON North Country This Week OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg Mayor Jeffrey M. Skelly says he plans to vote against the library budget proposition in May, but says he will ensure the library stays open regardless of the outcome. The mayor has come under criticism from the public for not supporting the library’s attempt to secure an additional $225,000 through a proposition attached to the school budget. The mayor says his problem isn’t with the library itself, but how it’s been managed. If the proposition fails, the mayor says he will ask the executive director and all members of the library board to resign. If it passes, he says that means people have made their choice to support the library’s current direction.

Editorial — Ogdensburg Journal: Vote yes on library referendum

It’s hard to imagine Ogdensburg without its historic library at 312 Washington St. However, if a referendum attached to the school budget vote fails then it may result in the library’s eventual closure. This comes after the city of Ogdensburg has told the library’s Board of Trustees that it will no longer fund it in the future, that this year would be its last year of financial support. The city’s contributions to the library have dwindled over the years due to its own financial hardships. In 2018, the amount was $453,625. This current fiscal year it was dropped to $162,000. In 2022, there will be nothing.
