Thank You Detroit
For Your Support of Proposals L and M


On Tuesday, November 2nd, Detroiters gave a resounding nod of approval to the Detroit Public Library through a Yes vote on Library Proposals L and M.

Proposal L, a renewal of the library’s existing mills was approved by a 76%
margin.

Proposal M, a new mill for the library, was approved by 63% of the voters.

“These are terrific numbers and each of us should be very proud that our efforts paid off,” said library director and CEO Nancy Skowronski. “We are immensely grateful to Detroiters for their continued support of the Detroit Public Library.”

“For all of you who encouraged people to vote, who worked the polls, who volunteered to distribute campaign materials, who made speeches, who encouraged us on a daily basis, and/or represented DPL in countless other ways, THANK YOU!” Skowronski said.

The new mill helps restore funding lost by the library from state appropriations. In addition, the new mill will help the Detroit Public Library to enhance technology resources; strengthen library services to seniors, children and youth; and enhance library services at regional library locations.

It is projected that the library will start receiving collections for the new mill in August 2005. For additional information, please contact Juliet Machie, Director for Public Services at 313-833-4036 or jmachie@detroit.lib.mi.us
