Save the Warrenton Library!

(by The Astorian)

Voters will get a second chance to sustain the Warrenton Community Library.

Measure 4-222 in the May election would extend the local option levy that finances the library for another five years. The tax rate is 33 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value and would generate more than $1.3 million for library operations. A home with an assessed value of $250,000 will pay an estimated $82.50 per year.

If the measure fails, the levy will expire at the end of June and the library will likely close.

That would be a shame.
