ImageDear Editor,

We support the vote to make the Lansing Community Library Center (LCLC) an independent library.

Over 20% of the Tompkins county tax base comes from Lansing town residents. Some of that money is given to Groton, Dryden, Newfield and Trumansburg, other independent libraries in Tompkins county. LCLC receives none of this money because it is not an independent library but a reading room of The Tompkins County Public Library (TCPL).
As an independent library LCLC can ask for a charter and become eligible for county and state funding.
It is time for Lansing tax dollars to return to Lansing for the benefit of all town residents.

Vote yes for an independent Lansing library on May 15th.

Bobbi and John Wasenko
Residents, Town of Lansing
