What happened
Defiance County voters will decide on a library levy during the November ballot. The proposed levy is 1.65 mill, which would cost property owners $47 per $100,000 of home value annually. The levy is designed to fund the library system for the next 35 years, with an expected annual generation of nearly $2 million.
