Residents of South Milwaukee will vote on a referendum that could increase the local library’s budget by $425,000 through a tax levy. If approved, the increase would appear on tax bills starting in December 2026, adding about $27 annually for every $100,000 of assessed property value, as per the City of South Milwaukee's Facebook post.
The referendum is intended to support library operations and services, including updated technology, expanded collections, and improvements to the building. Details on the proposed levy and its use are available on the city’s official website.
City officials encourage residents to review the information and participate in the vote. The results will determine funding for the library’s programs and facility improvements.
