OTSEGO DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY ON AUGUST 4, 2026 BALLOT New Additional Operating Funding Ask for First Time in 30 Years.
The Otsego District Public Library has not asked for additional operating funds in 30 years, as the last operating funding ask was in 1996. In 1996, minimum wage was $3.35/hr and the library operated a 7,000 square foot facility. In 2027, minimum wage will be $15/hr and the library is now operating a 18,400 square foot facility. Overall rising expenses are outpacing current income and the library has begun to use its fund balance to cover routine operating costs, repairs, and upgrades. The library’s goal is to maintain a fund balance equal to 50% of one year’s operating expenses with a minimum target of 35%. However, the 2025 audit showed the fund balance has decreased to 19% of annual operating expenses due to rising costs and necessary repairs to the facility.

The Otsego District Public Library (ODPL) is on the August 4, 2026 ballot with a new additional operating millage ask of 1.0 mill in perpetuity, which would generate an additional $587,000 in operating revenue the first year levied. Notably, the winter collection on the debt bonds payment will be the last levy for construction of the facility and then the debt millage will drop from the tax roll in 2027. The funds are intended for both regular operations, maintenance of the facility, and capital improvement. The funds collected will be used for maintaining and enhancing library services, including infrastructure repairs and general maintenance of building, technology, equipment, to cover and facilitate staffing minimum wage increases, restoration of the fund balance, facility repair and improvement, and the potential for expanded hours.

2027 marks the last levy and payment on the debt bonds for construction of the current facility. The library is advised annually by a financial management firm how much to levy to make the bond payments, typically 0.5 mills. This will drop off the tax role in 2027 after the final payment, Winter 2026. During the course of payment duration on the bonds, the library refinanced and saved taxpayers over 1.5 million from 2016-2026.
Wednesda e y, July 22 10 AM - 11:30 AM and 5:30 P PM M - 7 PM PM
Building and Grounds expenses since 2005 for the library have increased 400% as the library facility has aged. There are over $1.3 million in known building needs and upgrades over the next 5+ years, with over $500,000 being current urgent needs. The current facility is now 17 years old (built in 2009). Infrastructure needs include: HVAC replacements, roofing repairs, crumbling exterior masonry repairs, lighting, parking lot maintenance, accessibility improvements, and routine upkeep of the building and equipment.
total people were served in 263 Programs 2020-2025 for all ages - infants to adults. The library has seen growth in digital resource use - Nearly 20,000 eBooks and audiobooks (19,794) were borrowed through our online platforms in 2025. Digital checkouts have increased 85% since 2022. The Otsego District Public Library circulates almost 6 items (5.76) per person in the service area, with 14,230 people in our service area, annually. This is equal to average circulation and usage for American libraries. The average taxable ODPL household saved $443 over the last year by borrowing library materials rather than purchasing them.
Otsego District Public Library operating funding is trailing behind other area libraries. ODPL currently operates on 0.9502 mills due to headlee rollback. Allegan operates on 1.751 mills with a 1.3 million dollar budget, Paw Paw operates on 1.6751 mills with a 1.2 million dollar budget, and Plainwell operates on 1.4345 mills with a $1,085,850 budget. ODPL operated on $709,487 (including millage and all other income sources) in 2025 with 3 full time staff and 16 part time staff. Library usage has remained high. In 2025, 62,177 people visited ODPL, equivalent to the library serving an average of 24 visitors per hour open.

Michigan Disaster Recovery Centers Opening Statewide to Connect Residents with FEMA Assistance LANSING, MICH. The Michigan State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division (MSP/EMHSD) with support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established multiple locations across the state to connect eligible residents affected by April's severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding with federal disaster assistance.

“Communities across Michigan are still rebuilding from devastating storms, tornadoes, and flooding this spring,” said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “That’s why we’re making it easier for eligible residents to access FEMA assistance close to home. Michigan Disaster Recovery Centers will bring critical recovery resources directly into impacted communities, helping families navigate the recovery process and become more resilient to future disasters. We'll keep working alongside our local, state, and federal partners to ensure every community has the support it needs to recover and move forward.”
“On The Lash”
Specialists from FEMA and the Small Business Administration (SBA) will be available at eight Michigan Disaster Recovery Centers (MI DRCs) to help survivors apply for FEMA’s Individual Assistance (IA) and SBA disaster loan programs, upload documents, learn about ways to make their property more disaster-resistant, and get questions answered in person. Additional popup sites and mobile centers will open across the state throughout the IA application period.
250 N. ANDERSON ST., PLAINWELL
“Recovering from a disaster can be a difficult and overwhelming process” said Col. James F. Grady II, director of the Michigan State Police and state director of Emergency Management and Homeland Security. “These MI DRCs are designed to make that process easier for residents by bringing FEMA specialists and recovery resources directly into impacted communities, ensuring all eligible residents get the support they need.” An interactive map with the location and hours of operations of the MI DRCs, mobile centers, and pop-up sites, and SBA Business Recovery Centers (BRC) can be found in the Disaster Assistance section on the April severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding webpage.

Annual
AGE 78 - KALAMAZOO, MI
VFW
Linda S. Thompson passed away July 14, 2026, at Beacon Hospital in Kalamazoo. The daughter of Bert and Della (Myers) Miller, Linda was born July 5, 1948, in Allegan, MI. She was a 1966 graduate of Allegan High School. While living in New Jersey, Linda worked for Santa’s Best, making tinsel and Christmas items for a short time, before returning to Michigan. Linda was a woman of strong faith and believed in guardian angels. She was an active member of St. Margaret Catholic Church in Otsego where she was part of the prayer chain and helped with funeral luncheons. She loved to travel, enjoyed cruising, and taking day trips in their Camaro. But most of all, Linda enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren. On November 1, 1974, she married Thomas Thompson, who survives. Also surviving are her children, Lori (Scott) Lathrop of Plainwell, Andrew (Chrystal) Thompson of Plainwell, and Kristofer Thompson of Adrian; her 5 grandchildren, Jessica, Michael, Amanda, Drew and Nevaeh; 5 great grandchildren Asa, Peyton, Layla, Lucas and Alana; siblings, Judy Smalla, Danny Miller, and Debbie McCarty along with several nieces and nephews. Linda was preceded in death by her parents. A rosary service will take place at 4:30 P.M., Saturday, July 25, 2026, at the Winkel Funeral Home, followed by a time of visiting with Linda’s family from 5-7 P.M. Cremation will follow. A Memorial Mass will be held at 11:00 A.M., Friday, July 31, 2026, at St. Margaret Catholic Church in Otsego, with Rev. Fr. Simon Manjooran officiating.

- Equality My mom’s mom had 9 grandkids. We all wanted to be her favorite. One day I just asked her point blank, “Grandmom, who’s your favorite grandchild; I am, right?” She said, “yes you are.” I knew it! I came to find out many years later that she told all nine of her grandkids the same thing‐ “You are my favorite.” What we desire as kids, we often take into adulthood. We all want to be the favorite something‐ favorite teacher, favorite pastor, favorite parent, favorite child, favorite friend, favorite employee, and favorite coach. I suppose this is not diabolical unless we start to believe that a person or group is favored because of their gender or skin color. If I believe that a person is superior or inferior to me based upon gender, I am a chauvinist. If I believe that a person is superior or inferior based on race or ethnicity, I am a racist. Based on my reading of the Bible, I assert with absolute conviction that chauvinism and racism sickens the heart of God. Let’s start where the bible starts, with some garden guidance. The Garden of Eden, in Genesis 1‐2, reflects the way things ought to be, the way God designed the world. There is nothing between God and people or between Adam and Eve. There are no fig leaves of separation yet; that comes with sin in Genesis 3. There is no inequality between people. There is no superiority or inferiority. Here’s what we read in the very first chapter of the Bible: Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Three times in these two verses we read that God made people in his image. I have three kids, two sons and a daughter. My daughter has as much of me in her as her brothers do. All three are made in my image. None of them can boast that they have more of my DNA in them than any other of my children. They can’t say “well, I’m a more legitimate child of Dad than you are” to their siblings. Nope they are equally a part of me and I a part of them. If we believe the image of God is in every human being, male and female, black, white, yellow and brown, then we have to conclude that all people are created equal. The image of God in you is equal to the image of God in me. Are you God’s favorite? Yes! But so is every other human created n God’s image. Deal with it! See you Sunday at 10:40! ~ Pastor Lenny Luchetti

While out jogging in a nearby neighborhood I spotted a yard sign that caught my attention. It reads, “Be a Blessing.” That got me to thinking about the blessings God has given me throughout my life including, but not limited to, the gift of life itself, my family and friends. Beyond that God has blessed me with the gift of His love, His amazing grace, personal salvation, the Holy Spirit and so much more.

Annual Community CLOTHING EXCHANGE Day Saturday, August 1
Over the years I have learned the meaning of a much quoted verse, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Being a blessing gives glory to God, helps us to feel good about ourselves and makes life a little easier for someone else. I have conducted hundreds of funerals for well over half a century. In meeting with bereaved families, there is a common theme. The common theme is the positive impact their loved ones have had on their lives.
HOW YOU CAN HELP - ADOPT!
This, to me, explains the meaning of Hebrews 10:24. So, let us be a blessing to others and encourage others to do the same.

Baby Girl is declining at the shelter. She's becoming more depressed and not wanting to eat much. Even getting her into a foster home for a time would be greatly beneficial! Baby Girl is just what her name makes you think of- Sweetness, affection, and a little apprehensiveness that makes you want to scoop her up right into your lap. And she does enjoy cuddling on your lap! She’s a bit anxious in general and dislikes kennels, so she would do well in a calmer environment with understanding people. She’s somewhat dog friendly and a dog companion would give her a boost of confidence. Ideally, she would not be left alone for long periods due to some separation anxiety. If given a home with reassuring owners who spend much of their time at home, and possibly a dog companion, Baby Girl will give back her tender-hearted love again and again! The Details: • 2 Years Old • No Cats • Somewhat Dog Friendly • Appropriate for Respectful Kids (10+)

It is one thing to count our blessings; it is another to be a blessing to others. It is clear from the Holy Scriptures that we are blessed by God to be a blessing to others. There is no greater reward than touching lives for God. We do not have to be a trained theologian, pastor or author in order to do this. The best way of being a blessing is in the little things, small acts of kindness such as a smile, a moment of our time, a prayer, a listening ear, a word of encouragement, a thoughtful note, an unexpected email, a phone call, card or gift.
