Each year, the Board of Library Trustees approves an annual library budget. Oak Park property owners currently pay roughly 5% of their total Cook County property tax bill to the library. Nearly all (96%) of the library’s operating budget comes from property taxes (0.0366% comes from fees, and 0.00291% comes from grants and gifts).
