ROCHESTER — Residents in the city of Rochester will continue to have access to the library, thanks to an updated, longstanding services contract. The Rochester City Council unanimously approved the modernized Rochester Hills Public Library services agreement in late July — with a 6-0 vote. Councilmember Steve Sage was absent from the meeting. Library Director Juliane Morian said the new contract was signed by all parties and executed Sept. 9. The contract begins Jan. 1, 2026, with an initial term of three years and renews annually until either party wishes to terminate.
