Lapeer District Library Board Meeting 9.18.2025

The first 10 am meeting of the LDL Board of Trustees at the new venue, the American Legion building in Lapeer, was well attended by community members.  Vice Chair DeAngelis chaired in Kari Kohlman's absence.  The disorganized, poorly run meeting felt more like a three-ring circus than a board meeting. DeAngelis applied rules inconsistently and called out members of the audience by name in his free-wheeling comments. The meeting lasted two hours. Of note, seven months now without a Director.  



Call for the Resignation of LDL Trustee John DeAngelis

Update: Over 200 citizens  have added their names to this letter calling for the resignation of John DeAngelis.  We presented this call at the August 28th County Board of Commissioners meeting. Six commissioners were present; three were silent on the issue, three spoke in support of Mr. DeAngelis.
