Lake Stevens Library on February 14 ballot
Vote YES x2!
The Rotary Club of Lake Stevens urges voters in the Lake Stevens School District to VOTE YES on both ballot measures. Since the vote requires a percentage of the recent General Election, everyone needs to get out an support the Sno-Isle Library measures.
There are two library measures on the ballot: 1) Should a Library Capital Facilities Area (LCFA) be created to build and open a new, larger Lake Stevens Library? and 2) Should funds be raised within the LCFA to finance a new library with up to $17 million in bonds?
If voters approve both measures, a new library would be built that includes: Nine times the size of the current library (20,000 vs. 2,500 square feet); nearly three times as many items on-site; triple the number of public computers.
Space not available in the current library building for:
Children's Programs, Senior citizens' programs, student study space, group work spaces, quiet reading areas, library events, business resources, community meetings and distance-learning.
As Lake Stevens continues to prosper and grow, a new library is essential for a growing community. We have out-lived the current library. A library benefits citizens of all ages from the youngest to the oldest citizen in our community. Join me and the other members of the Rotary Club of Lake Stevens in approving these two measures on the February 14th ballot.
