Calhoun's only public library
A small operating levy for the Calhoun County Library was approved to be
placed on the May Primary ballot by the Calhoun Commission last night. The
Commission held a special meeting to consider the issue.
The $30,000 annual levy would be used for "general operation" of the
under-funded organization which is struggling financially, according to
Library Board President Grace Richards.

levy
The cost to the average Calhoun property owner would equal the purchase
of a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread once a year, said Richards. The three
year levy totals $90,000.
The operational levy failed during the last election by less than one-half of
one percent. It was so close a recount was done, although it did not change
the outcome.
"We are hopeful people will consider our critical needs and support the
library in all our endeavors," said Librarian Glada Stump.
