	ALA \| Referenda Roundup, 2000
		The Colorado Library Association had warned that the effect on public libraries would be devastating and offered as an example the Pikes Peak Library District in Colorado Springs, which would have lost $3.8 million in the first year of enactment and $6.1 million in the second year from reduced property-tax revenue alone.
		The library component of the measure, touted as the Better Jacksonville Plan, was viewed as crucial to passage of the half-penny sales-tax hike, the first time in 12 years that residents had improved a tax increase.
		A West Bonner County Library District was established by a majority vote of 78% to serve a population of 3,300 headquartered in Priest River.

		Library Square is going to be hip, if library director Nancy Tessman and longtime city official Deeda Seed have anything to say about it.
		The "spirit" of Library Square, Tessman said, comes in part from the Vancouver Public Library; both structures were designed by internationally known architect Moshe Safdie, and both aim to be community centers beyond the traditional.
		Spaces will lease for $12 to $15 per square foot, and the revenue from rents will help the city recoup some retail-space construction costs, plus help Tessman and her staff program Library Square with small concerts, movies and poetry and reading events.

		The latter, especially, confronts the clutter of a decayed downtown setting with a powerful elliptical form reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum.
		Curving doubled and windowed walls enclose a covered plaza with shops and the library entrance, as well as the rectangular library building itself.
		The latter, set within the elliptical enclosure, contrasts a modernist glass and metal vocabulary with the attached columns and horizontal bands, which articulate the curved brown concrete walls to give it a distinctly archaic character.
