Summary
Timberland Regional Library is asking voters to approve a rare property tax increase to save its services—after 17 years without one. With 29 locations at risk of major cuts without funding, the library proposes raising the tax rate from 22 to 35 cents per $1,000 of property value, starting in 2027. If passed, it could prevent a $3 million deficit by 2030 and ensure strong, stable funding for staff, hours, and programs. It’s a community vote on whether to invest more in their local library.
