Editor,
This July, residents of Polson and north Lake County will have an opportunity to vote by mail-in ballot on a proposal to establish a library district, which would provide sustainable operational funding for the Polson Library. Additional information on the proposed levy is available on the library’s website at http://polsonpubliclibrary.org.
It’s exciting to know that in elections this June several small and medium-sized communities voted to support their local libraries: mill levies for the Plains Library and the Clancy Library passed, and the Carbon County library mill levy increase passed, which will benefit the Joliet Pubic Library, the Bridger Public Library, and the Red Lodge Carnegie Library. Also in the previous 7 months, both Drummond and Belgrade passed levies to fund their libraries.
As Polson-area voters prepare to cast their ballots, I hope they will be encouraged by the example of these other Montana communities and vote for the proposed North Lake County Library District.
