The Holmes County District Public Library is requesting an operating levy of .8 mills on the May 4th ballot to fund critical library services. Without additional funding, the library will have to make further cuts to services, programs, and hours. The levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $25.20 per year and would help restore services like evening and weekend hours, bookmobile stops, book purchases, and educational programs for children, teens and adults.
