Dear Jeffco Residents,
As Library Trustees, we were thrilled with the recent positive election outcome. It’s gratifying and humbling to see the value you place on libraries and the trust you place in us.
Your support of 1A will enable us to:
- Expand library hours;
- Provide more books and materials;
- Update technology;
- Repair and refurbish buildings; and
- Stabilize library finances.
We look forward to giving Jeffco residents the services they want and deserve.
However, we won’t try to do it all at once.
As Library Trustees we have a dual fiduciary responsibility: first, to provide a responsible level of library services, and second, to serve as effective stewards of taxpayer funds. We take these responsibilities very seriously.
When we resolved to go for a mill levy increase, we committed to restoring Library services, while monitoring the Library’s budget to assure responsible spending.
Rest assured, we intend to keep that promise.
Respectfully Submitted,
The Jefferson County Library Board of Trustees
Brian DeLaet, Chair
Julia Hill Nichols, Vice-Chair
John Bodner, Secretary
