If you regularly follow our blog, you must know by now how valuable libraries are to their communities. You also understand that the Capital Area District Library has a question on the August 3 ballot asking people in the CADL service area (the vast majority of Ingham County) to renew their existing millage. In all honesty, they’re not asking for a lot – just a straight renewal of their 1.56 mills.*

Ok, back to my point. If this election fails – if the CADL millage does not pass – ALL OF THEIR LIBRARIES WILL REALLY CLOSE.

*Take a look at the Library Use Value Calculator to see just how much you’re paying and how much you’re saving using the library.

With the August 3rd vote for CADL’s operational millage fast approaching, the time has come to start spreading the word about the vote.  What can you do to help? Talk to everyone you know about the value the library has to you.  If you bring your children to storytimes, use the library to feed your book habit, or use the computers to access information, make sure to tell a friend.  Positive word of mouth is one of the best ways you can help support the Capital Area District Library, and make sure they continue to provide invaluable services in the future!  Check out the CADLwebsite for more specific information about the millage renewal.
