Libraries as meeting places
-
- February
- 6
Libraries are naturally good place to find books, magazines and videos, but as information centers they are also community gathering spots with meeting rooms.
To wit, state Assemblywoman Sandra R. Galef, D-Ossining, is inviting her constituents to discuss issues of state and local concern at what she is billing as “town meetings” this week in Peekskill, Putnam Valley and Kent. She is reportedly prepared to talk about the Gov. Spitzer’s proposed budget, her priorities for the legislative session which include her support for the newly-created Commission on Property Tax Relief. Another hot-button topic is the debate about paper ballot vs optical scanner voting machines.
The schedule:
7 to 9 p.m. tonight at The Field Library, 4 Nelson Ave., Peekskill;
10 a.m. to noon, Saturday at the Putnam Valley Free Library, 30 Oscawana Lake Road;
1 to 3 p.m., Saturday Kent Free Library, 17 Sybil’s Crossing, Kent Lakes.

Is this the way Bill Gouldman will run the 90th Assembly district like the way he keeps his bar restaurant dirty in New York City?
