SEIU donates $10,000 to library levy campaign

BOARDMAN, Ohio- A local union made a major donation towards the campaign to pass a levy for Mahoning county's library system.

The SEIU, which represents library employees,  donated $10,000 to the levy campaign on Wednesday.

Library director Carlton Sears said the 1.8 mill levy would help the library system offset losses in state funding.

"We're trying to get the libraries back open again, is the bottom line. We had to close everything one day a week last year. This is about getting them back open again," Sears said.

Last November, voters passed a renewal levy to prevent additional cuts, but the new levy would provide additional funding.
