The Board of Trustees of the Sugar Grove Public Library District voted during the regular board meeting on Wednesday, December 14, to place an operating rate increase question on the April 4, 2023, consolidated election for voters in the District. The building bonds that were issued in 2004 and used to construct the current Library at 125 S. Municipal Drive will be paid off in February 2024. The increase will be equivalent to the amount of debt reduction, resulting in a no-net tax increase that will shift funds used for the bond operating funds.
