Fairview Public Library and Skene Library Seek Sustainable Funding Through May 2026 Referendum The Boards of Trustees of Fairview Public Library in Margaretville and Skene Memorial Library in Fleischmanns have submitted petitions to place a referendum on the May 2026 Margaretville Central School District ballot. The referendum would allow voters in the district to approve sustainable funding for both libraries through a dedicated line item on the school tax bill, as outlined under Chapter 414 of New York State Education Law 259. If approved, funding for both libraries would cost taxpayers 16 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property value — approximately $35 to $55 per household annually. For most taxpayers, this equates to about $1 per week. Of the 42 member libraries in the Four County Library System, 35 of those are currently financially supported in this manner. Funding through a public vote on a tax levy is widely recommended for libraries, as it establishes a direct relationship between the library and taxpayers, ensuring accountability and transparency. Additionally, it ensures that libraries can rely on stable, adequate funding to support their operations and programming.

New this month in YA: It’s all fun and games until someone ends up dead. Six months ago, season four of The Escape Game ended in horror when contestant Alicia Angelos was found murdered on set. Now season five is underway, and new contestants are ready to put their skills to the test solving the show's trickiest escape rooms. There's Adi, the cryptographer; Carter, the math whiz; Beck, the wannabe game master; and . . . Sierra Angelos, the girl who got away with her sister’s murder. Or so everyone believes. But Sierra’s not just here to win. She’s here for justice. When the contestants begin uncovering clues that hint at the identity of Alicia’s true killer, it becomes clear that the stakes aren’t high just in this competition—they’re deadly. If these teens want to win—and survive—the game, they must solve the biggest mystery of all: who killed Alicia Angelos?
