In the City of Morenci it passed by 83%, but we did not do as well in the townships: 66% in one and 54% in the other. I'd love to see a different method of funding libraries...I feel like all the farmers hate me (and I was even an FFA member in high school!). Particulars for Joe: Millage rate: 1.2342 (Original in 2015 was 1.25 but my board didn't want to ask for an increase to restore it.) Renewal Term: 2025-2034 Votes: 337 YES; 133 NO.

Library Pet
by Ingrid Fournier 07 Aug '24

07 Aug '24

Perhaps an odd question...library pet? Anyone have one? If so, how does the maintenance work? We recognize that fur and pet hair create allergies so that limits the pet choices but wanted to ask. Thanks, Ingrid Fournier Branch Manager, Scottville Mason County District Library
