FUNDING SOURCES
The Mid-Columbia Library
System's basic
financial support comes from a property tax levy in unincorporated Benton and
Franklin Counties, annexed cities of Benton City, Connell and Kennewick and
from service contracts with the cities of Kahlotus, Pasco, Othello and West
Richland. Additional sources of income are generated from gifts, memorial
funds, photocopies, fines, fees, power generation tax and occasional Federal
grants.
The library district operates on a
calendar-based budget year January through December. Budgets are presented in
October each year.
