According to the Library's website, the library currently has a limiting rate of 17.94 cents per $100 of assessed value. The library is asking the public to approve an increase to 20.8 cents per $100 of assessed value.
The Library has asked several times since 2016 to increase its operational funding, but voters have rejected each proposition.
"The need for improved library services is very real, and because this referendum has never passed before, the need still exists," Pointon previously told Patch.
