LDL Policy and Bylaws Committee August 8, 2025

This meeting of the Lapeer District Library Bylaws Committee was held at 10 a.m. on August 8, 2025 at the Marguerite De Angeli Branch Library, 921 West Nepessing Street, Lapeer, Michigan 48446. Trustee Peggy Brotzke, William Hamilton, and trustee John DeAngelis were present. Trustee Carol Brown, and Kelly Bales were absent.

Lapeer District Library Board Meeting 7.17.2025

The Board majority, made up of Chair Kari Kohlman, Vice Chair John DeAngelis, Secretary Peggy Brotzke and Trustee Carol Brown  approved an amendment to the Bylaws adding prayer and The Pledge of Allegiance to the meeting order. They voted to change meeting time and location to third Thursdays, 10 am at The American Legion Hall, and called the police mid-meeting in an apparent attempt to intimidate members of the public in attendance.   Lots more in the video below - see it to believe it!
