Information regarding Library millage proposal

Your award-winning East Baton Rouge Parish Library system is funded almost entirely by a 10-year Dedicated Tax. This comprises almost 100% of the Library’s funding for all operations, including staffing, books, supplies, utilities, maintenance, and contractual services. It also funds the Pay-As-You-Go Capital Improvements Plan. The current tax expires in December 2025. Unless the renewal tax passes on November 15, the Library will receive ZERO new funds in 2026.
