Baldwin Library, City Agree, Ready for August Deal, November Vote !

The  Birmingham Baldwin Library Board meeting of Wednesday June 8th minutes are now on the library's website.Birmingham Baldwin Library Board Minutes June 8th 2011.

They are marked as "un- approved" because final approval will await a vote of the board members at the next board meeting in July. Major news sources however have been reporting the library's approval as of  Sunday June 12th. All local news sources as well as the website of the Birmingham Baldwin Library are linked to this blog and appear in the right  hand column  under" Resources."
.
 The Birmingham Bloomfield Eccentric in it's Sunday edition reported ..."it appears a deal was reached for the Baldwin Public Library to begin providing library services to residents in Bloomfield Hills."

The Detroit Free Press also reported on Sunday that "The Bloomfield Hills City Commission could decide Tuesday (at the city Commission meeting  Tuesday  June 14th at 7:30 pm) whether to approve a three-year contract that would let Bloomfield Hills residents have full privileges at the Birmingham library."

 The estimated cost per household on an anual basis would be $180 and all households would presumably pay the same amount. Should the Bloomfield Hills commission shoul approve the offer, final approval would await a vote of the city residents which could come as early as the November election.
