Letter: Vote yes for libraries

Love your community library? It's a definite yes on Measure 21-222. Please remember to vote yes and support your local library system. At $9 per $100,000 assessed home value, it's one of the most effective ways to help our community.

Where else can you find free books, videos, ebooks, computers and internet access, and access to materials around the state and the world? Plus free programs for children, teens, seniors and many other community groups?

This is a renewal of an existing five-year levy, at the same rate of .09 cents per $1,000 assessed value. My coffee budget is more than that. But it means thousands of dollars for the libraries in Lincoln City, Newport, Siletz, Toledo and Waldport.

In a rural county like ours, libraries are even more important than ever. Please vote yes and support our libraries in Lincoln County.
