How will this affect my taxes?
If you are a homeowner with an assessed home value of $100,000, your annual library tax would increase by approximately $3.94 per year. That is 18% of the average cost of one hardcover book!
What are the library’s sources of revenue?
In 2022, 95% of the library’s funding came from local tax support. The rest of the 2022 revenue was from a combination of fines, printing and faxing fees, state funding, grants, and donations.
