There is a copy of the book in each third-grade classroom and two copies at the Lee Memorial Library.

This 430 page book was scanned and copied by Ellie Hart as part of her Girl Scout Gold award.  If you would like to make a donation to help offset printing costs, checks to Girl Scout Troop 428 may be submitted to Ellie Hart at 96 Dale Avenue, Allendale, New Jersey.

Important Information from the Tax Collector

For the first time, this property tax bill shows a separate line item showing the minimum required appropriation for the Lee Memorial Library as a separate tax levy pursuant to a recently enacted State law (P.L.2011,c.38).  The municipal tax levy was reduced by the same amount as the new library tax levy.  This change does not result in a property tax increase and is to help you better understand the costs of the library services reflected in your tax bill.
