This document provides information about the Dunkirk Library's proposal to become a library district in order to secure stable funding. It summarizes the library's declining funding in recent years, which has led to cuts in hours, staffing, and services. The library is proposing a vote to establish a library district funded at $350,000 annually through a small tax increase. This would restore lost funding and programs while representing a minor portion of residents' overall taxes. The benefits and consequences of approval or denial of the proposal are outlined.
