There was an error in an article in the Aug. 10-16 issue of the Hicksville News regarding a Hicksville Public Library Board of Trustees meeting on July 20. It quoted minutes from a July 20, 2015 board meeting as if they were taken at the July 20, 2016 meeting that the News covered. It thus gave the mistaken impression that the trustees had violated the news blackout agreed to with the CSEA, the union representing the library’s employees, on the status of the contract negotiations. The employees have been without a contract since June 30, 2011. The board did not, in fact, ignore the blackout agreement.
We regret the error.
