<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Did any public libraries in your state have building or operating referenda on the ballot in the past year (12/01/14 through 11/30/15)? Please reply back with a list of those libraries so we may follow-up with
them. If there were no ballot issues in your state last year, a reply back to that effect would be welcome as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
