Public Library Millage Renewal:

Get the Facts

LWVGP will host a panel discussion on the public library millage renewal that will appear on the November 3 ballot.

DATE: Wednesday, September 16, 2026
TIME: 7:00–8:15 p.m.
WHERE: St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, 20475 Sunningdale, Grosse Pointe Woods

The panel will feature:

  • Jessica Keyser, Director, Grosse Pointe Public Library
  • Robert Allen, President, Grosse Pointe Library Board of Trustees
  • Paige Domzalski, Executive Director, Grosse Pointe Library Foundation
  • Tracy McGee, President, Friends of the Grosse Pointe Library

The Grosse Pointe Public Library is asking voters to renew the current millage at the same rate for the next 15 years. The panel will explore the different aspects of how the public library is funded, followed by questions from the audience.

Public libraries play an important role in a healthy democracy and provide resources and services that benefit our entire community. The Grosse Pointe Public Library offers books, magazines, newspapers and videos in both physical and digital formats, as well as story times, free classes for all ages, the DREAM Lab with 3-D printers, live music and much more.

Come join us on September 16! Invite your neighbors, friends and colleagues to this informative community event. The program is free, but please register by September 10. To register, visit the League’s website at lwvgrossepointe.org.

ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE?

To vote in Michigan, you must be registered. To find out if you are registered to vote where you currently live, visit mi.gov/vote and click on “Your voter information.” You can also call your city or township clerk’s office and they can tell you if, and where, you are registered to vote.
If you’re not registered to vote where you live, it’s time to register!

If it’s BEFORE July 21, there are many ways to register to vote in the August 4 Primary. You can register:

• In person at any Secretary of State branch office, your city, township, or county clerk’s office, any state agency that provides public assistance or services to people with disabilities, any Armed Forces recruitment office, or a voter-registration drive.
• Online at mi.gov/vote. Click on “Register to vote online.” (To register online, you must have a valid Michigan driver’s license or state ID.)
• By mail. You can print an application, complete it, and mail it in. Get an application online at mi.gov/vote. Click on “Voter forms and publications.”
Starting July 21 (until 8 p.m. on Election Day), you only have one way to register to vote: in person at your city or township clerk’s office with proof of residency. While you’re there, you can request AND vote an absentee ballot. If you’d prefer to vote in person at an early voting site or at your polling place on Election Day (August 4), ask for a registration receipt and bring it with you when you go to vote.

Ensure Accessible Voting Sites. Train Now!

In late April 2026, our LWVGP Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee collaborated with the LWVMI DEI Committee on Voting Site Accessibility. Guest Speaker Eric Welsby, Advocacy Director, Detroit Disability Power, presented information on the latest disability audits at Election Day polling places and early voting sites. We encourage you to become involved in these audits. Training will be provided, and it’s a great way to help our clerks continue to be compliant with accessibility requirements during the voting process.
