Rally for your library

Contributed by: Aspen Walker on 10/8/2008

Are you a library lover? Rally for your library and ballot issue 5A at the site of the proposed new Parker Library ( Main Street and Pine) from 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, October 19. Bring your friends, family, pets, signs, and enthusiasm.

The rally will take place, rain or shine. Participants can park behind Parker Station, or at the Parker Water & Sanitation building.

Issue 5A asks voters to approve a 1 (one) mill increase on property tax, or $7.96 a year per $100,000 of your home's value. If 5A passes, the typical Douglas County Household will pay less than $30 a year- the cost of a single hardback book. Under 5A, Douglas County gets:

-New, adequately-sized libraries in Parker, Castle Pines and Lone Tree. 40% of the new tax will sunset and go away after the new libraries are built and paid for.

-Renovations to the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch Library.

-Expert librarians, more library materials and improved technology for everyone in Douglas County.

For more information about 5A and Yes to Libraries, visit YestoLibraries.com or call 303-841-8155.
