Riverhead Public Library
The annual budget for the Riverhead Public Library was passed with a substantial margin.  The $3.3 million dollar budget represents a tax levy increase of 1.98% just under the State mandated 2% cap.


Huntington
The Huntington Public Library budget which exceeds $8 million dollars also passed.  The tax levy will not, however, exceed the State 2% cap increase.  Officials avoided a conflict with the 2% cap increase by dipping into library reserves.


Port Jefferson
