As a public agency, YDL is committed to making clear, transparent financial information available to the taxpayers and donors who support the library. Annual Reports also highlight the library’s key accomplishments over the year, and offer insight into the stories of the patrons and staff that are the heart of the library.

Current Annual Report: 202

Our 2024 Annual Report detailed the lengthy repairs at YDL-Michigan, migrating to a new catalog system, community partnerships, and more.

2024 Highlights include:

• Working hard to continue working on the necessary repairs to reopen the YDL-Michigan branch.
• Sprucing up spaces, including a new play area and artwork at YDL-Superior, and a new dollhouse and important pavement work at YDL-Whittaker.
• Moving forward with initiatives identified in our strategic plan, including a new catalog system, social work interns, and new mover mailers.
• Strengthening partnerships with a number of important grants from the US Chess Federation, Washtenaw County American Rescue Plan Act funding, Toyota, and anonymous donors. These monies helped boost our chess club, replace the checkerboards in the Library Plaza, installing new lockers at YDL-Whittaker, and more STEM equipment. 
• Sharing the community love with comments and social media messages that helped us stay positive during the tough year without YDL-Michigan.
