Mission StatementTo be a community destination for traditional and online resources which empower and enrich the individual.System OverviewThe Genesee District Library (GDL) is an award-winning system of 19 locations and the Talking Book Center Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. All library buildings (excluding Genesee Valley Center location) are owned by the local governmental agencies. The GDL provides staffing, materials, administrative support, technology, and programming. The GDL was formed on January 1, 1980. It is governed by an eight member volunteer board. The legal service area covers Genesee County, Michigan with the exception of the City of Flint. Over 1 million visits are made annually to the GDL for our large traditional and online collection, reference resources, high-speed access to the Internet,Wi-Fi, special services, seminars, and family programming. Our knowledgeable, friendly staff is always available to assist you. The GDL is funded by a .7481 county-wide millage (excluding City of Flint). An additional 0.25 mills was approved on May 3, 2011. The remaining revenue comes from other sources, such as fees and fines, state aid, penal fines, sponsorships, grants and gifts. |
