Library Funding is on the Primary Ballot August 6th

Funding for Detroit Public Library is on the ballot August 6th.

Ballot Proposal L is a renewal of funding, NOT an increase.
85% to 90% of Detroit Public Library system funding comes from this millage that must be renewed every 10 years.
These funds are used to operate the main library, 21 branches and mobile library. The library maintains its own buildings, which is costly.
Historically, Detroiters have supported library millages.

Libraries support Majority Black Detroit with books, internet access, educational programming and more. Public Libraries are a part of the commons.
Our libraries offer classes on computers. Students of any age can access online tutoring services with a Library card.
Our libraries have music collections, Detroit historical material collection, the National Automotive History Collection and other assets for serious thinkers.
Our Libraries also support neighborhood book clubs, provide summer cooling centers, free wi-fi outside its buildings, and provide special laptops on loan with internet access.
