Our thanks to Diane Kooiker, Herrick District Library, and our own Colleen Hill for their presentation on keeping the Herrick District Library Open.
Herrick District Library needs your "YES" vote on Tuesday, August 2!
The millage levy funding for Herrick District Library will expire in 2016. On August 2, voters in the City of Holland, Holland Township, Laketown Township and Park Township will decide whether or not to continue library funding. Local millage levy dollars represent 85% of library funding. The library will not be able to continue to operate if the millage does not pass.
The millage levy proposal requests 1.5 mills of funding over 14 years. This is the same level of funding that the community approved with the last library millage levy in 1996.
Because August 2 will be the first time the District Library placed a ballot measure for the library, it will be listed as a new and additional tax. It is not a new tax. It is a request for the same level of funding approved 20 years ago.
