Make your voice heard! However you vote tomorrow, thank you for being involved in your community.

This year UPL is asking for a small increase in the amount we receive for our operating budget through taxes. The increase of $4,704 works out to about $1.42 per household. With the cost of books rising (by about $6 per book, just in the last few weeks) every little bit helps!

The weather finally cooperated and our new sidewalk has been poured! Thank you Finger Lakes Habitat, Home & Site Services LLC for your hard work. Thank you to community members Bridget Brewer and Alan Vogel for lending their knowledge and expertise to this project.

And thank you, UPL patrons, for your patience as we worked to complete this project. We are so excited to offer a safe and accessible path around the library and into the outdoor programming space! Stay tuned for details about adding plantings around our new path.
