Video of the Jan. 16, 2013 Middletown Twp. Library Board Meeting

Library branch closings was a major point of discussion with the public at the first Library Board meeting of the year. New officers were appointed from the board.

This was the first meeting of the year and new officers of the Middletown Township Public Library Board were appointed.

A number of members of the public attended to voice thier objections to the Board about the closing of branch offices of the Library.

There was objection among the newly appointed Board members, enough that the Board decided to hold off on the closings until other methods of funding could be sourced.
