A great deal of research has been done lately on the brain development of infants and the importance of stimulation at an early age. Many branches of the Sno-Isle Regional Library System are offering baby story times to help parents start their children on a lifetime of learning and success.
Baby story times are just one way that our local library supports families. The library provides a welcoming environment to all its residents. Now, the library is asking for our help.
Our library is operated by the Sno-Isle Regional Library System. Sno-Isle is facing a budget shortfall in the coming year and is asking residents of the library district to restore the library levy to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of property. For a home valued at $300,000, this will be an increase in property tax of $12 per year. I think this is a small amount to pay for the service that is provided by our local library.
I urge my friends and neighbors to join me in supporting our community by voting yes for libraries.
