Dighton Public Library Board unanimously approves revised FY27 budget with dual contingencies. Library Director Mark Procknik presented two scenarios based on the outcome of a pending debt exclusion vote: a 17.6 percent reduction if the exclusion fails, or 13.8 percent if it passes, with staffing adjustments in both cases.
