Voters in the Branson and Hollister School Districts will be asked to approve a tax levy to fund a new public library on the Tuesday, Aug. 8, ballot.

The following issue will be seen on the ballot:

BRANSON/HOLLISTER LIBRARY SUBDISTRICT PROPERTY TAX

“Shall there be a tax of eighteen cents ($0.18) on each one hundred dollars assessed valuation on real estate and personal property located in the Branson/Hollister Library Subdistrict for library services?”

There are 367 public libraries in the state. Currently, Taney County is one of only four counties in Missouri without a publicly funded library district.
