JDL'S Board of Trustees is seeking community support to sustain library operations at all 13 branches of the district library system. The library system's financial outlook is very grim. We can no longer afford to continue to operate our current system of 13 branches with existing resources. We are seeking an additional 2/5 mill (0.40 mill) to sustain library operations at all our 13 branch locations, to continue to maintain our aging facilities, and meet the growing demand for library services throughout the county. This additional millage will be levied for the next 9 years, starting in 2008 and ending in 2016.

 Staff will lead a discussion about the Operating Millage Proposal in the November 4 election ballot on Wednesday, October 15, 5:15 - 6:15 pm and Thursday, October 23, 12:00 - 1:30 pm in the Carnegie Library Auditorium, 244 W Michigan Avenue, Jackson.
