Rodman Public Library will have an issue on the November 8 ballot.
Voters in the Alliance City Schools and Marlington Local Schools will decide Issue 3, which is a 1.5-mill, 10-year renewal levy. There are no new taxes associated with the levy, which accounts for 35 percent of Rodman Public Library’s overall funding.
More than 80 percent of Ohio’s 251 public libraries have local tax levies to supplement funding from the state of Ohio’s Public Library Fund.
