底特律学区拟投入870万美元为89所学校恢复图书馆：董事会11月或12月表决
密歇根州韦恩县底特律市，底特律公立学校社区学区总监尼古拉·维蒂（Nikolai Vitti）提出，用870万美元一次性资金为学区89所学校恢复图书馆；学区董事会预计在11月或12月的会议上表决。
这笔资金将用于每校最多4,000册图书、家具、陈列设施、初始人员配置与一套新的编目系统；图书馆建成后，每年约500万美元用于人员排班运营。学区可动用的一次性资金总额约为2.585亿美元，若计划获批，图书馆有望在2027年秋季部分开放。
多年来，底特律学区因预算紧缩与入学人数下降关闭了大量学校图书馆，许多原图书馆空间闲置或被挪作他用，家长与教师长期呼吁恢复。学区董事会主席拉特里斯·麦克伦登（LaTrice McClendon）称，恢复学校图书馆将是学区的一个重要时刻。

Detroit District Weighs $8.7 Million Plan to Restore Libraries at 89 Schools: Board Vote Expected in November or December
In Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, Detroit Public Schools Community District Superintendent Nikolai Vitti has proposed spending $8.7 million in one-time funding to bring libraries back to 89 schools; the school board is expected to vote on the plan at its November or December meeting.
The money would cover up to 4,000 books per school, furniture, displays, initial staffing and a new cataloging system; staffing the libraries would cost about $5 million a year after setup. The district has about $258.5 million in one-time funding available, and if the plan is approved the libraries could partially open by fall 2027.
Years of budget constraints and declining enrollment forced the closure of many Detroit school libraries, leaving spaces dormant or repurposed, and parents and teachers have long called for their return. Board chair LaTrice McClendon called bringing school libraries back a historic moment for the district.
