The DeWitt District Library has struggled the last few years with reductions in income. While the DeWitt District Library has levied the same amount for library operations (a half mill) for the last 15 years, the collapse of the real estate market resulted in that half mill raising much less today than it did a few years ago. The library has also been negatively affected by reductions in penal fines and state aid.
In response, the Library Board has tightened the budget. Over the last 3 years, the Library has significantly cut material purchases, staffing, and hours of operation along with closing a library branch at the DeWitt Community Center. With the defeat of the operating millage in May it has become necessary to make further cuts in staffing and hours beginning in September.
The DeWitt District Library remains committed to providing the best library programs and services possible within our resources. We appreciate your understanding as we make necessary changes.
