## Resource

Lancaster County voters face a pivotal ballot decision this November: approve a new 0.55 mill property tax to fund public libraries, or risk losing stable, long-term support for these essential community hubs. Backed by a citizen petition, the measure would generate predictable revenue—about $55 annually per $100K of home value—to bolster countywide tech and catalog systems while letting local libraries tailor services to their communities. But opposition from two state lawmakers warns it’s another tax burden on families. With libraries evolving into vital centers for education and workforce development, voters must decide whether this dedicated funding is worth the cost.
