Let $\mathcal{F}$ be an orthonormal basis for weight 2 cusp forms of level $N$. We show that various weighted averages of special values $L\left( f\otimes \text{ }\!\!\chi\!\!\text{ ,1} \right)$ over $f\in \mathcal{F}$ are equal to $4\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }c+O\left( {{N}^{-1+\in }} \right)$, where $c$ is an explicit nonzero constant. A previous result of Duke gives an error term of $O\left( {{N}^{-1/2}}\log N \right)$.
