People for Libraries is a political action committee whose sole purpose is to advocate for the renewal of Washington County library levies. The current current countywide local option levy will expire in June of 2026. A five year renewal of this levy will be on the November 2025 ballot.

The renewal of the levy provides needed funds to:

•  Maintain open hours at all libraries, avoiding cuts in service

•  Fund children’s reading events, including summer reading and literacy programs for preschoolers

•  Purchase books and materials that all library users have access to countywide

•  Provide reading and learning support, including online access and homework help designed to improve school success for all students in the county

•  Maintain central support and services that link libraries together
