Well my own library taxes are a lot less my strata unit is assessed at under 300,000 and my rates for 2011 were in the $70 range per month(homeowners grant) or $800-$900 per year.

For strata owners paying more than double the spending on all other is $53 per year (see above link) which as far as I can determine includes libraries(1), community centres(4) and city owned museums among other services, than I doubt I am actually paying $20 a year.
People with higher assessed residences pay more, and renters probably pay more as taxes are factored into rent and rental property rates are probably higher.
I did mean $200 but curiousity led me to attempt to figure out what I pay personally. Either figure is a bargain for me, but I might donate some money to the library as now I save both library fines and transportation costs, and of course the convenience adds value as well
