From Library Journal:
The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County (PLCHC) will seek to supplement its state funding (86 percent of the library’s total budget) by placing a five-year, one-mill levy on the ballot this coming November.
“Without the additional funds a levy would provide, we will be forced to severely reduce our services, including closure of 15 to 20 branches,” said PLCHC board president Elizabeth LaMacchia. (The system has 40 branches and a main library.) The levy would cost a typical homeowner $2.50 a month per $100,000 in assessed value.
