Perrysburg 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.

It's that time again! Our classes will cover issues from just beginning (How to Use a Mouse) to Excel, and most things in between. Registration at the Information Desk is required and you can sign up for one of these workshops beginning on February 13th.

Reel Opinions with WGTE Public Media, a joint effort of Way Library and WGTE (PBS Channel 30), will present "American Experience: The Amish," a two-hour documentary, on Thursday, February 16. We will show the program on the lower level of the library beginning at 10 a.m., and a short discussion will follow. Refreshments will be offered.

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?
