To the Editor:
Thank you to all within the Ogdensburg City School District who came out to support our Ogdensburg Public Library! This overwhelming PRO VOTE for our library is due to the Amazing Referendum Team which the board of trustees set in motion. Two of the trustees took up the helm. This team consisted of two main committees, PR & Marketing, and Phone Bank.
The PR & Marketing committee was led by Lin Griffin along with Laura Pearson and Karen Wright. The Phone Bank was led by Tom Lawrence along with Jana Norris, Christine Becker and Paula Jacques. Tom organized a 20-member phone bank with script and a weekend timeline in which to complete the calls.

OGDENSBURG – A debate over Ogdensburg Public Library Board of Trustees appointments got heated Monday after the mayor took no action on the matter despite requests from the public.
Several members of the public called on Mayor Jeffrey M. Skelly to appoint candidates recommended by the Ogdensburg Library Board of Trustees to fill three seats on their board.
“The appointments to the library board are absolutely the mayor’s and confirmed by the city council,” City Manager Stephen Jellie told board members. “That is the law sent to me by Michelle McLagan, their board president.”
