Would you be willing to pay a small fee to help offset that $300,000 shortfall last year, and possibly higher next year, to balance the budget so hours and services didn't have to be cut? Would you be willing to pay 3 cents or 5 cents or as much as 25 cents for your ebook?

No.
But I would be happy to pay that amount in increased property taxes. I think that adding basic fees on top of property taxes will take us down a road of divided service that we don't want to be on and will eventually undermine the library's mission.
