BRASHER FALLS â Town of Brasher officials say that, with the recent reassessment of properties and its financial impact on property owners, theyâre not likely to pick up the tab for the Badenhausen Branch of the Massena Public Library when funding expires at the end of the year. The library opened its doors on Dec. 11, 2014 in the former Boothe Hardware Store in downtown Brasher Falls, and the Massena Public Library has been operating it at $65,000 a year. Current funding for the library comes from donations from the late Dr. D. Susan Badenhausen. Dr. Badenhausen, who died on Sept. 23, 2018, initially donated $55,000 a year for at least three years and, in June 2016, pledged to continue her support for another five years at the increased funding of $65,000 a year.
