The city can retain the tax dollars generated by the city that now goes to the county library system with a city owned and operated library program.
The city center must include a cultural arts theater as well as a city owned and operated library facility. The city generates approximately $900,000.00 in taxes that now goes to the county library program. An additional $250,000.00 is charged by the county to keep the library open for more convenient hours. The city should secede from the county system and have a city owned and operated library for a lot less than it is costing now.
