Past levy funds accounted for 31.25% of the library’s annual operating budget. This supports programming, acquisitions, facility maintenance and much more!

Renewing the levy allows the library to continue operating as usual. If the levy does not pass, the library will lose 1/3 of its funding and may need to consider closing one or more of its branches.

The only funding the library receives from other sources is from the Ohio Public Library Fund (PLF), which was reduced by 5% last year.

While libraries are best known for lending books, our library serves as a vital hub for digital literacy, early education programs, and civic engagement spaces that empower every voter in Washington County.
