25 of 29 (.862 ) in May 2010.
30 of 37 (.811) in November 2009.
Or a total of 85 out of 104 library levies pass in Ohio since November 2009, for a .817 batting average.
Wood County's a winner!
Link to November 4 Toledo Blade article, "Regional voters approve 7 out of 9 library levies".
Excerpt: Nevermind the Republicans, the biggest across-the-board winners in this fall's election were - once again - Ohio's public libraries.
Voters statewide approved 30 of the 38 library issues on the ballot Tuesday, or nearly 80 percent. Of the record nine libraries in the local region that sought operating levies, seven won passage.
The seven area library systems whose levies were approved were Bellevue, Dorcas Carey, Forest Jackson, Harris-Elmore, North Baltimore, Tiffin-Seneca, and Wood County. Voted down were levies in Liberty Center and Putnam County.
And this latest election day was no anomaly. Voters passed 81 percent of the 37 levies on the November, 2009, ballot and 86 percent of the 29 levies on the May ballot, according to the Ohio Library Council.
