  THANK YOU, VOTERS FOR SUPPORTING ISSUE 4!
 


 
  Now more than ever, residents rely on the Columbus Metropolitan Library for books, research, internet access,  job searches, homework assistance and other services they need daily.

In 24 years, our library has not increased its 2.2 mill levy, the library’s only local tax support. Due to state budget cuts, our library has had to make $11 million in responsible reductions including reducing pay, cutting staff by 160 positions, deferring maintenance and cutting hours including closing branches on Sundays.


The library needs our help to continue to provide services that our community needs.


ISSUE 4 replaces the 2.2 mills first passed in 1986 and adds 0.6 mills to help balance the budget.  It's an additional $5.24 per month per $100,000 of home value.



ISSUE 4 is a necessity to help us provide and protect those services. Without it, we could lose up to 40% of our funding and potentially close HALF our libraries.
