ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The Albany Public Library budget vote will be on Tuesday, May 21. Ahead of the budget vote, the library is hosting a budget information session and meet-the-candidate forum on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Washington Avenue Branch.
Voters will also select three trustees along with their budget ballot vote. The library says two positions carry full five-year terms, which start on July 1, 2024. A one-year term is also available, which begins at the end of May 2025.
According to the Albany Public Library, the proposed 2024-2025 operating tax levy of $7,864,740 reflects a two percent increase in the annual total tax levy. This increase is under this year’s New York State tax cap for APL. If voters approve this increase, the owner of a $250,000 home would pay approximately $9.15 more in library taxes next year.
