Don't forget to VOTE today on Berkshire's tax levy! They have helped us out so much this past month while we've been closed, making it possible for our patrons to continue to order and pick-up library materials!

Berkshire Free Library will be on the school budget tax levy and they desperately need funding! Simply maintaining current programs and hours is not possible with existing funds. Tappan-Spaulding Memorial Library's school tax levy of 2022 does NOT cover the Berkshire Free Library. Berkshire Free Library is one of only a few libraries in the Finger Lakes Library System that does not receive tax dollars.
📚 With a tax rate of $0.146 per thousand of assessed valuation, the average household in the school district would see taxes increase $15-$20 a year. That is a small price to pay for our local library services. Berkshire Free Library loaned $350,000 worth of books last year to our community. This does not reflect the positive impacts on mental health through programs like the craft club or things like free computer access and internet the library provides to anyone that needs it.
