Millage election later this year

Hello,We will have a millage renewal on the ballot in August of this year. We are preparing information about the election for handouts for the public and for staff. If any of you have a handout that you gave to staff to use in answering the question, "Why do we need libraries now that there is the Internet?" I would really appreciate it if you would be willing to share. Thank you!Ann GreeneDirectorEau Claire District Librarygreenelib@yahoo.com

I'd be interested in the answers too. Even though we don't have a millage due it is still a perennial question. Thanks. - Maureen Swanwick Head of Circulation Romeo District Library On 2016-03-08 10:32, Ann Greene wrote:
