FALMOUTH — Falmouth Memorial Library trustees used no town funds to promote the recent failed referendum proposal to convert the former Lunt Elementary School into a larger public library, library officials told the Town Council on Monday.

The library took in $550,000 in revenue in the fiscal year that ended June 30, including $376,000 from the town, said Vicki Swerdlow, library accountant.

Library revenue also included a $50,000 bequest that was designated to be used for the trustees’ expansion effort, Swerdlow said.

The trustees spent $33,000 of the bequest on informational materials related to the expansion effort, but not on campaign materials promoting the referendum proposal, Swerdlow said.
