For many years the library has hosted the AARP Michigan Tax-Aide Preparation Program.  Please be advised that AARP is not planning to offer tax preparation services in Plymouth this year, due to challenges surrounding Covid. Patrons are advised to seek out other tax preparation providers for this year. PDL is disappointed to lose this service and we are hopeful it will return in future post-pandemic years.  

For additional information, seniors may reach the local AARP office at taxaide@aarp.org or (888) 687-2277.
