Yonkers Insider: Mount Vernon Public Library Info.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES Oscar Davis, Jr. President Judy Williams-Davis Cathlin Gleason Jamie Pessin Tanya Southerland, Esq. PMP Tuesday, May 19, 2020 Dear Family and Friends of the MVPL: COVID-19 has placed a hardship on people throughout the world, leaving many without income, mounting bills and for some people, a struggle to keep food on the table. These are difficult times but with continued commitment we shall get through this together. The Mount Vernon Public Library understands the strain taxpayers are under and the Board of Trustees have agreed to lessen the burden on our taxpayers. The Board has voted not to impose an additional tax liability (0% increase) for fiscal year 2020 - 2021. Please bear with us, as this is all new to everyone. Your patience is valued over the coming months. In keeping with the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) recommendation in regards to social distancing, the library will continue to offer its patrons remote services until we are cleared for in-person services. We thank you for your patience and continued support  as we look forward to coming together as a community. As a reminder, it is important that households complete 2020 Census forms so that Mount Vernon can be properly counted for eligibility for federal funds sorely needed. Completing the forms online is quick and simple. Please go to: https://my2020census.gov/  We will get through this together. Oscar Davis, Jr. | Board of Trustees President
