Election Day is August 6, 2024
On August 6, 2024 voters will be asked to renew an expiring library millage. The purpose of this renewed millage is to provide funds to pay for public library services provided by Community District Library for the next 4 years. The majority of the library's funding comes from a local millage.
This is a request to renew the millage of 0.7000 mill that was last approved in 2020. If approved, the millage will renew for a time frame of 4 years. This will not raise your taxes, it is a renewal at the same rate as the last 12 years.
How much will the millage cost? If you own a home worth $200,000 and your taxable value is $100,000 the cost would be $70.00 per year.
The local millage is a tax paid on property in the townships of: Burns, Caledonia, Hazelton, Perry, Shiawassee, Venice, and the cities of Corunna and Perry. Funds from a voted in millage support 85% of the library’s operating budget and it’s 7 branches. The budget funds library staff, materials, events and programs, technology such as public computers, Chromebook laptops, hotspots for checkout and much more.
Last year CDL had over 82,000 items checked out, 62,000 people visited library branches with 7,200 people attending events and more than 4,000 people are library card holders.
