Village Resident and employee of the Mayfield Regional Librar?: <br />reported that the library is one of the County's most valuable resources. Their system <br />serves 47 communities with its 29 branches. The County library system is the largest of <br />northern Ohio, and the 7th busiest in the United States. Mrs. Brooks said the library, <br />provides vital information to our children, to businesses, to senior citizens and to <br />computer users. Their system introduced library learning to over 5,000 children just last <br />year alone. The library needs Issue 23 on the May 3rd ballot. Because of the escalating <br />cost of new material, repair and maintenance to their building, the cost of keeping <br />computers up to date with current information, the library is seeking 4/10 of a mill. <br />The current one is 1 mill. That is an operating issue and that will expire at the end of <br />this year. It will cost an average homeowner about $2.27 a month. Issue 23 will allow <br />the library to continue to offer these special programs. Mrs. Brooks said they must also <br />pay to maintain their building. It will also make their building more accessible for <br />disabled patrons as required by the Americans With Disabilities Act. Mrs. Brooks said <br />their libraries are worth it to hundreds of thousands of users. Issue 23 will keep their <br />libraries up to date. After 10 years with no increase, it is tune to protect their libraries <br />for today, tomorrow, for our children, for our businesses, and for yourself. Mrs. Brooks <br />urged everyone to visit the Mayfield Regional Library or any branch to see what all that <br />library has to offer. She also encouraged everyone to come into the library to sign their <br />endorsement list. <br />Mrs. Cinco asked that a resolution of support (for the library issue) be put on the April <br />Caucus.
