About Issue 10
Watch the Virtual Kick-Off Video
- Issue 10 is a renewal, not a new tax.
- Renewal of the current 1.9 mill levy for six years will continue to support programs, services, materials, and operations.
- Levy funds comprise 55% of the Library's budget. Without levy funds, the Library will be forced to make devastating reductions in hours, staffing, collections, and programming.
- The levy will continue to cost the owner of a $100,000 home less than $4.25 a month.
