Library Budget
Budget News for 2025-26:
Suffern Free Library and Sloatsburg Library will not be seeking a tax increase for the 2025/26 budget year. Both Library Board of Trustees felt it was in the best interest of the residents and decided to forgo a budget vote. Both libraries serve the residents of the Suffern Central School District.
