The Eureka, Illinois Public Library Property Tax Extension request for this year amounts to $ 391, 000 and change. The request is for an additional $18,000.
The library serves some 6,250 residents according to their website. The request is about, what, not quite 63 bucks for every man, woman, and child. That, of course, is just the tax request. We don't know what their budgeted expenses are per "potential customer".
Break down the cost per actual unique library "user", and now you're talking real money.
But we digress - the levy request represents a 5% increase over the prior year.
Do your own cost/benefit analysis - we don't presume to do that for you.
