Sec. 35-5.

Tax levy for establishment, maintenance, and support of
district library.

(a) When a district has been organized
and established under
this Act, the board, upon its formation and qualification of the
trustees to serve, may levy an annual public library tax for the
establishment, maintenance, and
support of a public library or libraries within the district or for
contracting for library service.  The tax shall not
exceed 0.15% (or a greater amount
not to exceed 0.60% if the greater
amount was authorized by the referendum establishing the public library
district) of the value of all the taxable property within the
district, as equalized and assessed by the Department of Revenue.  Any tax levied under
Section 35-35
shall be disregarded in applying the provisions of this Section.

(b) The board may also levy an
additional tax of 0.02% of
the value of all the taxable property in the district, as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue, for the purchase
of sites and buildings, the construction and equipment of buildings, the rental of buildings required for library purposes, and
maintenance, repairs, and alterations of library buildings and equipment.

In any year in which the board proposes to levy the
additional 0.02% tax, the board
shall adopt an ordinance
determining to levy the tax.  The ordinance may be vacated
by the board before its publication.

Within 15 days after the adoption of the
ordinance, it shall be published in accordance with
Section 1-30. The publication or posting of the resolution
shall include a notice of (i) the specific number of voters required to
sign a petition requesting that the question of the adoption of the resolution
be submitted to the electors of the district, (ii) the time in which the
petition must be filed, and (iii) the date of the
prospective referendum.

The secretary of the district shall provide a petition form to any individual
requesting one.

If no petition is filed with the board within 30 days after publication or posting of the
ordinance, the district shall then be authorized to levy the tax. If, however, within the 30 day period a petition is filed with the
board, signed by electors of the  district equal in
number to 10% or more of the total number of registered voters in the
district, asking that the question of levying a 0.02% tax be submitted to the electors of the district, the
question shall be certified to the proper election authority, who shall
submit the question at an election in accordance with the Election
 Code, unless the board vacates the ordinance within 7 days after the
petition is filed.  The proposition shall be in substantially the
following form:

Shall the Board of Library Trustees of (name of district) be authorized to levy an
