Way Library renewal levy on March 6 ballot

Hand putting a ballot in a boxPerrysburg city voters will be asked to renew Way Library's 1.5 operating levy at the polls March 6. The funds raised by this levy will provide about 47 percent of the library's revenue annually for the next four years beginning in January 2013.

The levy will not result in an increase in taxes for Perrysburg residents. If you own a $100,000 home, you will continue to pay $45.95 per year ($34.45 for those who have a homestead exemption).

For more information, visit the Way Public Library Levy Website or the Wood County Board of Elections.

This documentary will air on PBS Channel 30 later in the month of February.  Here is an opportunity to see this documentary before it airs. This program provides an intimate portrait of contemporary Amish faith and life. How has such a clsoed and communal culture thrived within an open, individualistic society like ours? What does the future hold for a community so rooted in the past?
