This renewal is needed to maintain the current level of funding for the library. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about the levy. Why is there a library levy on the May 3 ballot? Collections for the library’s 4.5 mill operating levy end this year. The library is asking the community to renew this 4.5 mill operating levy for another 6 years with NO tax increase. Will my taxes increase if the levy is renewed? No. This levy is a straight renewal with no tax increase. Why is this levy necessary?
