Libraries are asking for funding in ballots across Michigan, some for a second time
Most of the library requests on ballots this cycle are millages that would not necessarily add any new taxes.
These “renewal” ballot proposals ask voters whether they want to keep existing millages in place.
Libraries often put up informational pages and host town halls to explain and pitch their millage requests and other ballot proposals to voters.
The amount of time these millages last can vary. This year, some libraries are asking for as little as two years and others are asking for 10.
