Please take some time to read about the upcoming library levy ballot measure to learn more about how our funding works and why this is up for a vote.

On March 23, the Sno-Isle Libraries Board of Trustees advanced a library levy ballot measure to restore the library levy rate to $0.47 per $1,000 of assessed property value within the Library District. Voters deciding whether to restore the library levy is a normal part of long-term public funding.

This August, voters will decide whether to restore the library levy to its previous rate, an important decision that will help shape the future of Sno-Isle Libraries.
