Plainwell library seeks tax renewal -- would likely cut hours, staff if voted down

PLAINWELL, MI — The Charles A. Ransom District Library in Plainwell is asking select voters in parts of Allegan and Kalamazoo counties to renew an expiring operating millage this August.

The 0.58-mill proposal is a continuation of the same rate the library — at 180 S. Sherwood Ave. — has been operating under since voters approved a 10-year millage in 2014.

“The library board has determined that the library can operate with its current millage for many years, and has decided not to ask for more (money),” the district’s recent newsletter stated.

As such, the Board of Trustees voted to set the ballot language to place the millage in perpetuity, meaning it will stay at its current rate of 0.58 mills for years to come, if passed.
