Campaign 2011
The Jefferson County Library Committee met on Tuesday, June 21st, to discuss the 2012 Jefferson County funding request and campaign. Based on increased usage statistics (library visits are up 34% in the past three years; computer use is up 26%) and relatively flat funding from the County (a 6% increase during the same time period), the group decided to ask for an additional $35,000 in funding. This would be an increase from $165,000 to $200,000 ($1.72 per capita - $.24 increase) or approximately 21%.
We are looking for volunteers to speak to the full legislature in October. We will provide a date as soon as we are given one.
