🔔An update on the Fulton Public Library’s budget proposition. THANK YOU! To everyone who came out to vote and those who advocated for the library. The library belongs to all of us!

Thank you Fulton Public Library, Fulton, New York for explaining the upcoming ballot on May 19th!!

DID YOU KNOW?
When you see the Library Budget on your school ballot on May 19th, it’s important to know that the library and the school district are separate entities.

•Why is it on their ballot? State law allows libraries to use the school district’s election process to save on the high costs of running a separate public vote.
•The Connection: The School District simply facilitates the vote and the collection of tax funds for us.
•The Independence: No school district funds go to the library, and no library funds go to the school. We have our own Board, our own budget, and our own mission to serve you!.

Your vote on May 19th supports library services directly!

Please take a look at our 2025-2026 Annual Report to the Community for more information. Visit: https://fultonpubliclibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Annual-Report-to-the-Community-2026.pdf.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to stop in and ask or call us at the library: 315-592-5159.

The tradition continues! Our annual BBQ fundraiser is back, and we are switching things up this year with a delicious pulled pork dinner.

For just $13, you get a full meal featuring pulled pork, salt potatoes, baked beans, and a roll. It is a fantastic deal for a Sunday lunch, and better yet, every single ticket sold goes directly toward supporting the programs and resources that make the Fulton Public Library, Fulton, New York such a vital part of our community. We will also have some baked goods for sale and a lotto board!

We tend to sell out every single year, so we highly recommend securing your tickets early. While we may have a few walk-up meals available on the day of the event, they are definitely not guaranteed.

When: Sunday, June 14
Pickup Time: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM

Where: Fulton Public Library (Look for us in the parking lot if it is sunny, or inside if the weather doesn't cooperate)

Pre-sale tickets are available online on our website OR at the Library!
