Youth Services
Our Youth Services Department is proud to offer programs and resources for children ages birth through high school! We implement many different programs during the year including Storytime, a specially-themed Summer Reading Program, Movie Mondays, and many others. We delight in finding new and unique reasons to create programming and are always looking for creative ideas. The Youth Services Department features many different levels of books from baby board books to mature teen novels. We have recently started a tween section for children in 5th through 8th grades and have many level readers for elementary children. We also offer children's AV materials such as music and books on CD.
Local History and Genealogy
Our Local History Department provides research help for the history of Newaygo County from it's formation to the present date as well as ancestry searches for those who resided in the county. Our Local History Librarian will provide programs for schools, scouts, and various other groups by appointment only. There are also genealogy classes offered periodically throughout the year. Please visit the Local History and Research tab for contact information and staff hours.
Community Spaces in the Library
The library has a meeting room that is available for public, non-profit use. There is no charge to rent this space for those purposes. To rent the meeting room for a private meeting or for a profitable event, there will be a $10/Hour charge due prior to the meeting. If food or drinks will be served at a meeting, there will be a $25 cleaning deposit due prior to the meeting. This deposit will be refunded once the room is inspected and is in good condition. Please call the library at 231-689-6631 if you would like more information or need to request a date. You can also look under "News & Events" for an online calendar of when the meeting room is in use.
