Committee types in Jonesboro to avoid wasting libraries

As one group tries to defund a northeast Arkansas library, one other is working to reserve it.

We discovered at the moment {that a} group referred to as Save Our Libraries filed paperwork about its group earlier this week with the Arkansas Ethics Fee. Save Our Libraries has already created a fund-raising type to spice up the hassle.

Phyllis Burkett, a Jonesboro resident, is listed as president of the poll query committee geared toward combating a Nov. 8 poll concern looking for to slash the Craighead County/Jonesboro Public Library‘s millage from two mills to at least one mill — a transfer that the library director fears might result in closure.

Save Our Libraries’ treasurer is Kim Imboden of Jonesboro.

“Save Our Libraries will expressly advocate for the defeat” of the millage proposal, the committee says in its filing.
