Library trustees say thanks for tax boost

Editor:

As trustees for the Jeffco Public Library, we were thrilled with the recent positive election outcome. It’s gratifying and humbling to see the value county residents place on libraries and the trust you place in us.

Your support of 1A will enable us to:

• Expand library hours.

• Provide more books and materials.

• Update technology.

• Repair and refurbish buildings.

• Stabilize library finances.
