PUBLIC HEARING ABOUT COUNTY WIDE LIBRARY

A Newton Town public hearing to gather input on a countywide library system will be held Feb. 5, 2009 at 7:00pm at the Newton Town Hall, you may view the study at
www.cachecounty.org/docs/libstudy.

This is the web site of the study Pete J Giacoma published on Nov, 8th 2008. The Document sent to the town board is much shorter. However the intent is the same. There are some errors about Newton in the report which have been e-mail to Pete. A poster will be placed at the post office detailing some of the report. You may also review both report’s at the library.
