Proposition L

For generations, the Webster Groves Public Library has been a place for learning, connection, opportunity, and community. From early literacy and technology access to outreach, public spaces, and lifelong learning, the Library serves thousands of residents every year.

As the Library looks ahead, rising costs, aging infrastructure, and the partial expiration of a temporary levy in 2029 create financial challenges that require long-term planning today.

With Proposition L, the Library is requesting a 12-cent increase in its property tax levy.

The proposed funding increase would help the Library maintain essential services, protect and improve its historic facility, and create a sustainable financial foundation for the future — ensuring the Library remains a strong, welcoming resource for generations to come.
