The Princeton Mayor and Council voted April 27 to amend the 2026 budget to provide an additional $75,000 from surplus to the Princeton Public Library and then adopted the amended budget. Councilors also approved a cap-bank ordinance and several resolutions and introduced two ordinances for public hearing on May 11.

Council introduced a near‑$85 million municipal budget with an anticipated municipal tax rate increase under 3.2%; library trustees and community members urged the council to fully fund library services after the institution cut hours and programs due to budget pressure.
