Why a New Library? Shorewood Director Answers Questions
Jennie Cisna Mills, director of Shorewood-Troy Library, outlines how bonds will be sold and paid off over 20-25 years to build a new library if residents support a tax increase.
In the spring edition of "Reading Between the Lines," a publicatoin for patrons of the library, Shorewood-Troy Public Library director Jennie Cisna Mills answers the question, "Why a new library building?"
Residents will be asked to vote on a proposed tax increase to build the library on April 9. The cost of the new library is estimated at $21 million.
"We estimate that for the average home in Shorewood the cost would be about $20 a month—less than a hardback book, half the cost of a video game, much less than the cost of having the internet in your home," Cisna Mills said in her "From the Director" letter.
