## Resource

Florida voters face a pivotal choice this November with Amendment Three, which could slash property taxes—but at a steep cost to public libraries. These vital community hubs, already stretched thin, rely heavily on property tax revenue to fund free programs, computer access, and summer reading initiatives. With millions visiting libraries annually in Volusia and Orange Counties, cuts could mean closures, staff layoffs, and even charging for services once considered essential. While library leaders aren’t panicking yet, they’re preparing for tough financial realities if the amendment passes—putting at risk the very resources that serve as lifelines for countless residents.
