TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• ANNUAL REPORT INFORMATION - Each year Butterfield Library is required by law to submit a report to New York State. Some of that information is included in this report. The complete report will be posted when it becomes available.
  
  
• NO FINES POLICY - the Library will no longer charge any fines for returned overdue material. Lost or damaged items will still be charged. Please note that material borrowed from other libraries will be subject to that library's policies.
  
  
• BUDGET INFORMATION - Libraries are generally funded by their taxpayers by way of a vote or a contract with, or gift from, the local government. For over 80 years the Butterfield Library was funded by a small endowment, tons of fundraising and gifts. Eventually we received an annual contribution from the Town, but it was not voted on by the public, and was not secure funding.

In 2006, the Library held it's first public vote and now receives secure funding from the community. These dollars only make up part of what it costs to run the Library. We still must fundraise and seek donations and grants to make up the difference!
