The Salem Bancroft Public Library is pleased to announce that the New York
State Education Department approved its Absolute Charter application at the
Board of Regents meeting on February 8th. The library was required to apply for a
new absolute charter when the Village of Salem was dissolved a few years ago.
The Library then began operating as a Town Library with a provisional charter.
Our Board President, Ed Donoghue, would like to thank the Board members for
their perseverance and the many hours of hard work that went into meeting the
requirements in order to obtain the Absolute Charter.
