Library Board
The Cass District Library Board is composed of eight trustees who represent the 12 townships in our service area: Calvin, Howard, Jefferson, LaGrange, Mason, Milton, Newberg, Ontwa, Penn, Pokagon, Porter, and Volinia. Please note that CDL’s service area does not include Dowagiac, Silver Creek Township, or Wayne Township.
The Board meets the third Wednesday of every month at 6:00 pm, usually at the Main Branch. Meetings generally last 90 to 120 minutes. On some occasions, usually in the summer, the meeting will be held at one of the Cass District Library branches. The public is welcome to attend. Public comment is accepted at Board Meetings per CDL policy. Please call (269) 357-7822 to verify the meeting place of the monthly board meeting or view the meeting schedule below.
