From what I have been hearing, tonight's Middletown Library Board of Trustees meeting which will be held at the main Library on New Monmouth Rd. will be an event not to be missed.
I have heard from many people that they intend on being at the 7pm meeting in the Library's Community room. They are hoping to get there opinions heard without being cut off during discussion time, which often happens during Township meetings.
At tonight's meeting the discussion will focus on whether or not the Library will/should hand over to the Township surplus funds that the Township Committee could use to plug a whole in this years municipal budget.
This one-shot revenue grab by the Township is very controversial and possibly illegal based on State mandated law. It has the potential to cripple the operating of the Library long term which could lead to the library system being turned over to the County.
Regardless of your position on this issue, if you want a night out and wish to attend an interesting and free "show" tonight, I recommend that you stop by and add your two cents to the arguments.

The excellent library is one of the reasons why we moved to this township. Why should they have to suffer by having their surplus funds taken to cover up the incompetent spending by the TC and other departments. There have been many scandals in the past few years that prove that the TC is not properly managing this township. I for one support the library and hope that it continues to serve all of the township for many years to come!!
