Special Election to Be Held for South Lynbrook-Hewlett Library District
Voting will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
Residents of South Lynbrook and Hewlett will hit the polls to vote on a proposed library contract and budget in a special election on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
The current contract with the Lynbrook Public Library expires on Dec. 31. and New York State Law requires that a special election be held to consider a new contract and budget, Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray said in a release.
The five-year contract and budget with the Lynbrook Library would cost $90,070 in the first year, and would be increased annually, according to Town of Hempstead officials. A one-time estimated election expense of $1,500 will also be added to the district's budget.
