Five people are vying for one of three open spots on the Palmyra Community Library’s Board of Trustees.

The election will be held from noon to 9 p.m.,  Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the library at 127 Cuyler St.  

Those elected would serve a four-year term beginning Nov. 1.

The five candidates seeking seats on the board are incumbents Diane Alsup, Carolyn Bradstreet and Jennifer Voss, and newcomers Andrew Lambrix and Deborah Murray.

There will be no vote on the library’s proposed 2012 budget, because the budget amount remains the same as that of 2011.  

Voters must be registered and reside in the Palmyra Community Library District which encompasses the town of Palmyra, excluding the portion that lies within the Newark School District. For more information, call 597-5276.

From now until Oct. 15, the Lyons Public Library will be conducting a survey of those over 18 to determine what services, collections and programs that local residents want the library to provide.

Earlier this year, the library conducted a similar survey focused on children ages 12 and younger.

Teens will be asked to fill out a survey later this year as well.  

The one-page survey consists of 10 questions, is anonymous and is available in several formats.

A request to restrict parking for private use was a matter of considerable discussion at the Newark Village Board.

Police Chief Dave Christler asked the board at their March 16 meeting to allow the posting of two “no parking” signs on High Street in front of the group home owned by Wayne ARC. Staff at the home complained it was difficult for the bus to park when picking up residents at the home and take them to work when other vehicles were parked out front, Christler told the board. On behalf of Wayne ARC, Christler requested two “no parking” signs restricting parking between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. be posted.

Board members expressed concern first that although the request was being presented to the board that evening, the signs had already been posted, allotting two parking spaces for Wayne ARC’s sole usage.
