Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Thomas "Tom" Payne

Candidate for
Member, Chappaqua Library Board; Chappaqua Central School District

This information is provided by the candidate

While budgets shrink and roofs leak, I believe libraries face the challenge of maintaining their relevance in the world of Google and Wikipedia. Our library has done a wonderful job of embracing technology, but I believe we must do more. Pam Thornton notes that while we adopt technologies like e-books, the fact that they return themselves automatically puts $50,000/year of late-fee revenue at risk. I look forward to helping the library come up with new models that will help us maintain the level of service that our community deserves.
