It won’t mean much to tax payer’s bottom line but it feels good.

Was it just back at the turn of the decade when they needed voter approval to raise the millage to cover a large loss to embezzlement?

Then they kept it high to fund their building campaign.

A governmental organization LOWERING taxes because there is a recession and the people might have a hard time paying their taxes? In my 60+ years I have never heard of this! Must not be any Democrats on the Library Board

This is an excellent decision, since the Library has completed its program of building new branches.
