Gordon Kangas loves our library -- and he wants to make it even better

Why Gordon?

Gordon believes that the library can change the life of a person, or an entire community. And he has a plan to do just that.
Go to spread the word

A great library is only as good as the frequency its community uses it. Let’s make sure everyone knows how their lives can change by tapping into the library’s resources.

Go to choose wisely

choose wisely

Our library depends on your taxes, so every expense should be made prudently. Let’s ensure our priorities and resources go hand-in-hand.

Go to Connect resources

Connect resources

Some come to the library for fun, others for enrichment. Let’s find more ways to help people connect with the materials that will broaden their horizons and build their earning potential, too.

So...what IS a library trustee, anyway?

Are you using the library yet?

Gordon is committed helping residents connect with the existing services they may not know about.
Using the library could save you upwards of $340 a year. Seriously.

The library is not just physical books. YDL offers eBooks, audiobooks, streaming content (movies, TV, and music), and hundreds of popular magazine (physical copies and digital). For many people, the library offers them precisely what a Netflix, Audible, or magazine subscription does, but for free. Gordon believes that better information about these services can not only enrich the lives of people of Ypsilanti, but save them a lot of money, too.
