This article covers the Warren County Library Board’s recommendation that supervisors not renew Samuels Public Library’s funding agreement, citing alleged FOIA and bylaw violations. I’m referenced as a Samuels trustee who attended the county library board meeting and publicly pushed back on those claims, stating that Samuels provided substantial value in return for county funding and that its nonprofit structure delivers a greater return on investment for taxpayers. My remarks emphasize clarity in governance, transparency, and the distinction between county funding for operations and nonprofit ownership of library assets.
