to levy for library purposes in the next annual tax levy
ordinance; (7) a statement as to the amount of accumulations
and the reasons therefor; (8) a statement as to any outstanding
liabilities including those for bonds still outstanding or

other statistics, information and suggestions that may be of
interest. A report shall also be filed, at the same time, with
the Illinois State Library.
    The board of trustees of a municipal library shall also
submit to the city council, board of trustees or board of town
trustees, along with the Illinois State Library, a statement of
financial requirements of the library for the ensuing fiscal
year for inclusion in the appropriation of the corporate
authority, and of the amount of money which, in the judgment of
the board of library trustees, will be necessary to levy for
library purposes in the next annual tax levy ordinance. This
statement shall be submitted no less than 60 days prior to when
the tax levy must be certified under subsection (b) of Section
18-15 of the Property Tax Code.
    The board of trustees in a township shall also submit its
