The Southeast Steuben County Library, 300 Nasser Civic Center Plaza in Corning, will hold a public information meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday to discuss a new library funding proposal.

The meeting will be held in the Laura Beers Community Room at the library.

Residents within the Corning-Painted Post School District will vote on a new sponsorship plan for the library Oct. 21.

The library board had to cut $100,000 out of its budget after Corning-Painted Post School District taxpayers last year turned down a plan that would have replaced the current funding system — where local municipalities contribute annually to the library — to one where taxpayers within the district would directly pay a library tax.

Last time, the library asked for $960,000. The new proposal calls for $786,000 to be raised through the special tax levy.

Under the plan, the school district would only collect the tax money and the library would still be run independently.

Registered voters within the Corning-Painted Post School District will be eligible to vote on the plan.

For more information, call the library at (607) 936-3713.
