Without support for Measure B and the campaign to save the Santa Clara County libraries, communities throughout the county stand to lose valuable library services.
Measure B asks for an increase of $8 annually on the library tax county residents already pay. This is a solid investment, not only in the libraries, but also in the community as a whole.
These funds are critical. Library usage has skyrocketed in the past 10 years, due to cuts in school library funding, a higher demand for Internet access, and more people moving into the area. Measure B would ensure that money would continue to be available, and that library hours, materials and services would not be diminished.
The county libraries are not something that this county can afford to do without. Without the community’s investment in Measure B, the libraries will suffer, and in turn, communities in Santa Clara County will lose a valuable resource.
Supporting this measure is a long-term investment. It is critical that we work together to keep county libraries strong. Invest in your library and vote yes on Measure B on March 2.
