Libraries were overdue for city's help
Mt. Lebanon annually devotes about $37 in local taxes per resident to its library.
That number for the city of Pittsburgh this year was 13 cents. Last Tuesday's landslide vote means the city finally will put serious money where its books are.
Some 72 percent of city voters said "yes" to devoting a thin slice of property taxes to the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, and I don't think many thought too long about it. The vote was more like that final scene in "It's a Wonderful Life," where the townspeople just show up at George Bailey's house to drop donations on the table."
