Whitman County Library offering pick-up for retail businesses
Curbside pickup of library materials is now available from Whitman County Library’s 14 locations for retail businesses. In accordance with Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s Phase 1 order, librarians will be calling area residents to pick up their requested items by appointment.
The library can continue to mail items to patrons, but is not able to provide items curbside for nonretailers. Book drops are open for the return of all materials. Friends of the Library are accepting donations to help offset these costs.
To requests books, movies and other materials, visit the library catalog at whitco.lib.wa.us, email info@whitco.lib.wa.us or call 509) 397-4366.
The governor’s timeline for reopening library facilities falls in Phase 3 of the statewide plan, meaning it could be weeks before WCL can reopen.
Accuracy Matters: School district levy
The Whitepine Joint School District has a levy measure on next Tuesday’s ballot. The money from the levy will be used to support “general education programs, extracurricular activities, and other needs” within the district, according to Whitepine Superintendent Bruce Bradberry.
The Whitepine ballot measure is a one-year supplemental levy of $880,000. The average annual cost to the taxpayer is estimated to be $394 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Those interested in voting will have to do so by mail.
While the $880,000 request is the same amount as the current levy, the cost to each taxpayer is “likely to be somewhat lower next year because of growth in the district,” according to Bradberry.
Editor’s note: This corrected brief, originally published Saturday, clarifies use of the levy money and the potential tax burden on taxpayers. The original brief included incorrect information because of a Daily News error.
