...as was the case with the Niagara Falls (NY) Public Library.

New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's latest audit questions practices at the Niagara Falls Public Library. The audit says the board failed to provide proper stewardship of library operations, set an example to staff, or fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities. That includes auditing and approving claims before payment.

The report says library management agreed with the comptroller's recommendations and are planning to make changes. Additionally, they have hired a collections agency to try to get recover lost income.
