KCRA: Sacramento voters to decide on future of public library funding with Measure E
Sacramento city voters will decide on Measure E this Election Day. Existing parcel taxes, from Measure X and Measure B, generate $9.6 million a year for library services. The taxes account for roughly 15% of the city’s contribution to the Sacramento Public Library’s funds.

“I believe the library is the great equalizer,” said Peter Coyl, director of the library. “Anyone can come into the library and find what they're looking for.”
Coyl said if Measure E does not pass in November, the reduced funding from the city would likely impact hours and services throughout the library system.
