Library parcel tax passes overwhelmingly

The Los Altos main library and Woodland library are among the county district libraries benefiting from Measure A’s passage.

The parcel tax, a renewal of the current tax expiring in 2015, will charge single-family homeowners $33.66 per year for another 20 years. The total $6.2 million tax pays for longer library hours and a range of services, from children’s services to updating books collections.
