Pauline Haass Public Library Considers the Cost of Litigation

Video content has nothing to do with ongoing litigation.


Library board delays lawsuit decision. (Sussex Sun, 11/26/2013)

How much money to spend in legal battle with Town of Lisbon:   So far, the Library Board has spent about $15,000 on the legal action. A Library Board budget committee has recommended another $50,000 be set aside for the 2014 budget. However, Library Board member and Village Trustee Tim Dietrich suggested at the Nov. 20 meeting that authorization to spend the money could be acted on as on "as needed" basis rather transferring all of the money into the budget at one time.
