  If the plan to construct a 16,000-square-foot library behind the existing building comes to fruition, patrons can't count on it being open more often, said library system director George Stratton.
  
  Levy bid loomsA levy election is in the offing as the library struggles to keep up with its ever-rising costs, he added.
  
  "We're going to have to come back to the voters to get money to operate.There's no secret about that, regardless of whether this [expansion] project is approved."
  
  Since property taxes can rise just 1 percent per year, library funding hasn't kept up with expenses.
  
  Stratton said he's struggled to provide decent pay and benefits for employees, and has had to trim the library system's book-buying budget.

  George Stratton, director of the NOLS, set Jan. 10 as a tentative date for a public meeting to discuss the study and possible funding options.That may actually include two meetings: one during the day and one at night to allow more people to attend.
  ...
  "If the initiative passes," Stratton said, "it would put us into an immediate hiring freeze.I have open positions I'm not filling now until we see what happens (with I-747)."In a prepared statement Whalley presented to the board last week, he wrote, "First and foremost is the limitation on increases in county property taxes.If Initiative 747 passes, this situation will become worse.Even if it fails, current limitations, combined with Clallam County's lagging economic development, make it virtually certain that property tax revenues will not keep pace with inflation.Since property taxes are by far the largest source of revenue for NOLS, this does not bode well for the future."The 2001 estimated budget shows NOLS collects $1,995,236 in property taxes.
  ...
  Cuts might include attrition in workers, not rehiring, reduction in hours, materials and Internet access, Stratton said."The public hates that," Stratton said, "but this is what happens when they don't want to pay for it."
  ...
  Stratton outlined the 2001 budget revenue numbers: nearly $2 million in property taxes, $255,000 in timber sales and about $350,000 in fines, interest, donations and funds received from 'Friends' groups, for a total of about $2.6 million. The library system receives $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed property value. Back to Top of The page
