If approved by voters, the Library Levy will provide critical supplementary funding for The Seattle Public Library from 2027 through 2033. It is a proposed replacement levy for the 2019 Library Levy, which expires at the end of 2026 and accounts for roughly one-third of the Library’s budget. Learn more.
