Mattawan Consolidated Schools | Van Buren District Library
Residents who live in the Mattawan Consolidated School District (Voting Precincts Number 1, 2 and 6) do not pay a library millage, and as such, do not have access to the Van Buren District Libraries. Texas Township has chosen not to pursue a library millage for this service, as a millage for library service is actually much higher than the cost of annual library membership. Anyone, regardless of which precinct they reside, is able to purchase a membership to the Van Buren District Library.
