Libraries are a charity?
For 2017, $6,959,222 in county property taxes went to fund our county library system. It makes up not quite half of the monies received for the year.
Another $6,856,245 came from the PLF:
The primary source of revenue for Ohio public libraries is the Public Library Fund (PLF). The PLF was enacted by the State of Ohio as the funding mechanism for Ohio public libraries in January 2008 and is a fixed 2.22 percent of the total General Revenue Fund (GRF) tax receipts.
Doesn't sound like a charity to me.
