The Public Library and Taxes

My CP does not have the authority to raise revenue through taxes, as it is not in their capacity to do so, however the little bit amount of money the library does receive from the local government is raised by a tax on the citizens of brisbane. If the Public Library wished to establish either a new tax specifically for them or two get a little more funding from the money gained from taxes, the library would have to send a representative to either town hall or a community meeting to plead their case. This red tape the library has to go through to receive  any sort of fiscal support from the local leaders, has made upkeep of the library very difficult and is why the institution relies so much on personal donations.
