Two days after the Phillipsburg Town Council told the town’s library to fork over $160,000 amid a funding crunch, Mayor Todd Tersigni told library officials they can keep the money.
Calling the offer compassionate and sincere to help cover operating expenses and the salaries of employees facing furlough, Tersigni made the offer during Thursday night’s meeting of the Phillipsburg Free Public Library Board of Trustees.
On Tuesday, the town council passed a resolution demanding the payment, citing a state statute that the library can retain its annual operating expenses plus 20%, with amounts over that returned to the town.

The Phillipsburg Town Council on Tuesday approved a pair of controversial measures rezoning a riverside site for industrial use, and telling the Phillipsburg Free Public Library that it owes the town $160,000.
The council vote was 3-2 on both measures, each time with Councilmembers Frank McVey, Bobby Fulper and Randy Piazza Jr. in favor and Harry Wyant and Danielle DeGerolamo dissenting.
The Phillipsburg library is facing furloughs. And now it may owe the town $160K.
