Lisbon terminates Sussex library agreement. (Sussex Sun, 6/23/2014)
It's all over but the crying. The town and village have been attempting to agree on a new funding formula during nearly four years of negotiations that were side tracked when the Library Board decided to sue the town over control of 65 acres of farm land donated to the town for library purposes by Pauline Haass.
The library is not expected to close when the funding agreement expires. Sussex village officials have vowed to take over the library and maintain it at existing service levels.
I suspect few tears are being shed as this overlong series finally comes to an end..
