Contributions Needed for Polling Effort!

The Save Our Library group is sending out a call for donations to support a polling effort. We would like to hire a professional to do some polling for us so we can figure out why exactly the May measure did not pass, and what exactly people would be willing to vote for in November. We will then share these polling results with the County Commissioners in order that they may make a decision on a creating a workable measure that has the best chance of passing in November. In order to get this polling done in a very timely manner we need to raise some money, and the sooner the better. Click on "support / contact" above to see the address for donations and the info that must be provided with the donation. Thank you!

Decision Meeting July 6

The County Commission will be deciding at their July 6 meeting whether the next ballot proposal will be a special or service district. They will also establish a preliminary (subject to further hearings) levy rate at that time. Meanwhile the Save Our Library Options Committee is committed to do some polling of voter preferences and gather cost comparisons for the two kinds of districts.

TWO MEETINGS UPCOMING:

Library supporters meeting Saturday, 11 a.m. at Riverside Church (4th & State) to prepare for County Commission meeting Monday, 6 p.m., at County Building (6th & State).

The June 7 County Commission meeting...

Was packed with library supporters full of appeals that the Commission get the library reopened as soon as possible and ideas that might make it happen. The Commissioners stated emphatically that they wanted to see the library up and running again and promised to facilitate some meetings toward that end starting this week or next.

IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING....

Show up for the County Commission meeting Monday, June 7, at 7 p.m. One of the main items on the agenda is "Discuss with staff options on how to proceed with the closure of the library." Anyone can sign up to speak for 5 minutes and we ALL need to let them know that it should be "Options on how to proceed with keeping the library open"!
