Voters in Little Rock need to go to the polls today! (July 14, 2015)
It is your chance to take an already outstanding library system and make it even stronger!
The Central Arkansas Library System is asking Little Rock voters to approve a bond refinance that will generate about $15,000,000 and reduce property tax rates from one mill to 0.9 mill.
Vote YES!
What will CALS do for Little Rock Voters?
- Expand the Thompson, Fletcher, and Dee Brown libraries and reconfigure their children’s areas
- Limited remodel in the Main Library and refurbish the Williams Library
- Expand and upgrade the digital/Internet network
- Purchase thousands of books, eBooks, DVDs, & CDs
How does it affect the Little Rock taxpayer?
It will lower taxes by about $2 per year on a $100,000 home and extend the bond payments by approximately five years.
Lower property taxes and higher quality libraries!
(This is only the second time the Culture Vulture has gotten political. The other concerned the vote to renovate Robinson Center Music Hall. In both instances, the financial impact per citizen was negligible, but the cultural impact was phenomenal. The Culture Vulture will never endorse candidates.)
