When raising property taxes, a question you should ask is "Is this worth throwing people out of their own homes at gunpoint for?"
Because that is the consequence of raising property taxes. Don't say it doesn't happen, it happened to my parents. And it happens quite a bit - people only seem to see the "positive" side of foreclosures and such (like storage places and what not), seeing people buying "bargains" but on the other side it's someone losing essentially their whole life.
If you want a library, why not fund it voluntarily? Cut out things like dvds and video games and focus on education.
