Lincoln County library officials made their final pitches to the public earlier this week in a continued effort to generate support for a new independent district.

The county’s budget crisis led commissioners to approve putting the question of forming a separate library district on the June 4 primary election ballot.

Voters who support the creation of the district will be approving a maximum 13.49 mills of property tax to operate the district. The library currently receives a total of 3.49 voted mills to support its operations. It also receives 3.9 general mills from the county and non-tax revenue of 1.649 mills.
