A Message from Our Executive Director

Hello! What a busy summer we’ve had both in our libraries and out in the community! As we turn to fall, I’d like to share some information about the question that Henderson Libraries will have on the ballot this November.

 

Registered voters with a Henderson address will see a question asking whether they will raise their property taxes by an amount equal to $0.02 per $100 of assessed value for the purpose of operating, maintaining, improving, and constructing library facilities.

For the average homeowner in Henderson, the passage of this question would equal an increase of less than $35 per year. For every $100,000 of a home’s value, the annual increase would be $7. Here’s the equation for how we arrive at this number:

Henderson Libraries currently has the lowest tax rate of any library in Southern Nevada at just over $0.06 per $100 of assessed value. If the initiative passes, the funds would be used to build a full-size facility in West Henderson; relocate a small neighborhood library to a different underserved area; expand electronic resources; expand programming; expand outreach; expand hours; upgrade/renovate the existing/aging facilities.
 
If you have any questions about this initiative, please feel free to reach out to me directly: mlsmedley@hendersonlibraries.com.
 
I look forward to seeing you all, in the library and out and about! Here's to imagining possibilities, discovering opportunities and connecting with our community!
