Library renewal levy on November 2 ballot

The Ada Icon recieved the following letter from the Ada Public Library levy renewal committee:

Have you visited the Ada Public Library recently, followed it on Facebook, or used their user-friendly website? At the Library, you and your family have opportunities for free Wi-Fi, free computer usage, free notary service, voter registration, and excellent programs for babies through adults, including book discussions for tweens and adults. 

The Ada Public Library is asking the community to support a five-year RENEWAL levy—no new taxes! The Library will have a one (1) mill levy on the November 2 ballot for the purpose of current expenses. One (1) mill means that a home valued at $100,000 would cost approximately $30.09/year or $2.50/month. This levy is projected to raise approximately $98,800 during the first year of collection, based on the current tax valuation of the School District.
