Want a say in library cuts or levy increase?

The Sno-Isle Libraries will host a community meeting 7 p.m. Thurs., May 28 at the Stanwood Library.
The meeting will include information about the library system's 2010 budget, and give locals a chance to give input on how they want the system to deal with the predicted deficit of $2.5 million next year.
About 93 percent of the library system's budget comes from property taxes, said Mary Kelly, community relations and marketing director. Legally, it can only increase its revenue by 1 percent each year.
Although revenue will be greater in 2010 than this year, it won't be enough for the library to keep up with its current level of service. The projection of $2.5 million would be the cost of keeping the current level of service in excess of expected revenue.
The options include a levy increase, or a combination of cuts such as less hours and purchasing fewer new books and computers.
