Tuesday's Ada Public Library levy is a renewal

It's not a new tax; typical homeowner assessed $1.66 per month
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, November 4, 2016

One of the local issues on the Nov. 8 ballot is an Ada Public Library renewal levy. The Icon held an in-depth discussion about the levy with Amanda Bennett, library director.

Icon: Why is this levy important for the Ada Public Library?
Bennett: Due to library funding cuts, libraries, through 2015, we are still functioning on the same budget schedules as they had been in the late 1990s.

Voters passed the library's first 1-mil levy for operating costs in 2012. On Nov. 8  is a renewal of that levy.
