  • Meet Matthew Topic - President of the Downers Grove Public Library Board
    I spilled the Downers Grove Village tea with the President of the Downers Grove Public Library Board, Matthew Topic. As the issue of whether or not the library board should continue to be appointed by the Village Council or become a library district with elected board members is on the table, President Topic provides background information on how the board functions to educate us villagers. This is a great resource to prepare for the upcoming joint public meeting of the Downers Grove Village Council and the Library Board of Trustees to be held January 2, 2025 in the cafeteria of Herrick Middle School at 7:30pm. Take a listen and get to know Matt Topic and how your public library board works! For information on the joint meeting: https://www.downers.us/index.php?section=events&evtid=882&fbclid=IwY2xjawHcNrxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHarcvGI5Hu-9WIzd8wmv35XmuACqKFTTECOUIE3y6rvkpZqwqE5XLADxWg_aem_Ahu_MHCMboitx6nNRb-FRg To view President Topic's letter to the Village Council, click this link: https://dglibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Library-Board-Letter-20241126.pdf Thanks to the media lab at the Downers Grove Public Library.

  • Downers Grove Village Council and the Library - What is the story?
    Hello Villagers! Controversy seemed to emerge when the Downers Grove Village Council proposed a nonbinding advisory referendum regarding if voters want the library trustees to continue to be appointed by the Village Council or elected directly by the voters. In this 40 minute episode, you will hear a transcription of Commissioner Mike Davenport's reasons for proposing this at the November 19th meeting and the letter in response by Downers Grove Public Library Board President Matthew Topic. I have tried my best to let those involved speak for themselves but I did summarize the public comments on this issue, both at the November 19th and the December 4th meetings. Downers Grove has some amazing involved citizens! I may go off on some wild tangents....sometimes that happens! I noted times for some notable points to help you, my villagers, streamline should you want to watch the YouTube videos for yourselves with the links below for easy access. Village council minutes are helpful but I find I prefer hearing it from the speaker themselves so I encourage you to do so and why I provided a transcription for those who prefer to listen.
