Dorr Township Library Board President Rachel Vote appeared at the Wayland Board of Education Monday night to ask for support for the library’s millage request in the Aug. 6 primary.

“This library services a lot of students and residents in the Wayland school district,” she said to the board. Unfortunately, we believe that if this millage does not pass we will have to close its doors.”

Vote said the Dorr Library is seeking a seven-tenths of a mill increase to expand hours, update technology, improve parking lot security and make the facility more handicapped accessible.

The library’s director doubles as head librarian for Hopkins Township.

In other business at Monday night’s meeting, the school board:

• Learned the district’s summer free meals program for weekdays during the summer will begin its fifth year on June 11 and a kickoff “bounce party” is planned for Tuesday, June 12, in the City Park.

The free breakfast-lunch series will be held at Steeby Elementary, Hunter’s Glen and Windsor Woods through Aug. 16.

• Was told by a representative from Triangle Construction that, “We’ve pretty much gotten up to date” on progress of the new sixth grade addition at the middle school, despite the recent spate of rains. “Over the next few weeks you’re going to see drastic changes in those classrooms.”

• Formally approved the addition of a music appreciation class at the middle school, to be taught by choir instruction Ricci Sabin.

• Authorized Finance Director Patricia Velie once again to negotiate a loan with David Rose from United Bank, which she said has been continued a solid relationship with the school district.
