The Way Public Library Board of Trustees asks for your support of a 1.5 mill levy to replace our current levy, which expires in December 2008.
This levy will allow Way Public Library to:
- Maintain our vast collection of audio books, down-loadable e-books, DVDs, music CDs, and books for your enrichment and enjoyment.
- Continue to provide free programs and special events for the community.
- Increase services to our young adult population (ages 11-14).
- Meet the ongoing demands of meeting room usage.
- Keep existing library hours.
- Provide necessary resources for our circulation and reference departments due to increased activity.
- Stay current with today’s technology and training to meet the growing needs of our patrons.
- Preserve the safety and integrity of our heavily used library facility.
The Levy
The proposed 1.5-mill, 4-year operating levy on the August 5 ballot will provide $860,410 annually beginning in 2009. The owner of a $100,000 home will pay $46.00 per year or $34.00 annually for seniors with a homestead exemption.
