As a public institution, Cortland Free Library is legally prohibited from advocating a “YES” vote on our budget. However, we strongly encourage all eligible voters to make their voices heard on this important matter. We believe that the many services, programs, and resources the library offers—free and open to all—speak volumes about our value to the Cortland community.
Whether it’s early literacy programs, computer and internet access, job search resources, book clubs, local history archives, or simply a welcoming space to read and learn, we strive every day to enrich lives and foster connection.

Voting is civic engagement in action. Thank you for taking part and supporting the institutions that make Cortland stronger!
