ANN ARBOR – The Ann Arbor District Library will begin opening in phases starting on June 15, in accordance with Gov. Whitmer’s Safe Start plan.
Since the library closed its doors abruptly in response to the coronavirus pandemic, its priority will be to process the backlog of returned materials and free up items still on the Hold Shelves since mid March.

While the Summer Game will go on as planned online and in outside venues, in-person programming will take many months to resume.
