What is Issue 19?

Issue 19 is a renewal request for the existing 1.95 mill operating levy that will be on the May 6, 2025 ballot. It is not a new tax. 

If approved, the Library will be able to continue serving the community with accessible spaces, services, programs, and more. The cost of Issue 19 to the owner of a $100,000 home is  $3.25 per month or $39 per year. Without levy funds from Issue 19, the Library may have to cut programs, services, materials, and more. 

Proposed changes to library funding at the state level, including the elimination of the Public Library Fund, will affect the services and programs your library can provide.
