Winston Reed writes: “Libraries across Lafourche Parish could shut down next year unless another source of funding is secured after voters rejected two property tax renewals during the May 16 election, according to Library Director Laura Sanders. The failed millage renewals account for more than 90% of the Lafourche Parish (La.) Public Library system’s budget. Sanders said the system plans to ask voters to reconsider the measures during an election in December. In Lafayette Parish, voters also rejected a property tax renewal that provides roughly $9 million annually for the public library system, about 65% of its operating budget.”
