Measure 24-468 was defeated by a 55%-45% margin in the Nov. 8 election. If approved the measure would have added a $2.50 per month fee to city services bills to fund a public library. Currently Keizer residents have the all-volunteer Keizer Community Library, housed at the Keizer Cultural Center. The $2.50 fee would have generated about $400,000 per year which would have funded a professional librarian and a children's librarian. The unofficial vote totals shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday night were 6,030 against and 4,952 for.
