Plus they either own, or have access to millions of books from other libraries. They sponsor a couple of community reads each year, often dealing with the experiences of marginalized peoples. Their youth programming is amazing, and they offer a "safe space" for students after school. Book clubs, game nights, classes, computer support sessions, even a computer coding club are offered. For me, the overarching atmosphere of multicultural acceptance and support feels welcoming and expansive. I love this library.

The charming, warm, inviting space is worthy of a visit if you are in Charlevoix. From the…read morechildren's section to the periodicals room set in front of a fire place with reading chairs, this library will amaze and entertain any age.

If I could give this extraordinary library ten stars, I would! I had been told how beautiful and…read moreamazing this place actually was, but had never been until today. When entering, it looks like just a very nice library entry, and then you see the real beauty behind it. The library is a pristinely renovated school built in 1927. The renovation is absolute perfection. You have to actually visit and see it to get the feeling that goes with it. It has multiple wings, artwork, children's sections, auditory and visual sections, complete with many different things for them to do aside from read. The interactive aspect of this library is Outstanding. They have computer systems for people to work with, lounge areas, specialty book areas, even the bathrooms are done in beautiful ways for each section! They have devices that you can rent for training, and so much more. It is truly an emotional experience to go in, look at the history, and see all of the beautiful touches that have Been made for the public. We spoke with a lovely woman, Mary Ann Chew, who is on the board, and also helped create all of the beautiful things. You will see when entering the library. From the architecture, the art work, to the availability of materials and even a room dedicated to book sales, you will NOT be disappointed!

It's nice to sit in the comfy chairs and browse the newest books. Before I had a laptop, I would go there to get some work done on a borrowed computer. We borrow movies to watch while we're up there on vacation. Using the website, we can check out the holdings before we get to town. When we're there, we check out the bulletin board in the front hall. It lists a lot of local events. One time we attended a free resume writing seminar offered by Michigan Works! and held at the library. We met a very encouraging person from Michigan Works! who helped us a lot.

I think this town must have some library lovers, it looks to be a very appreciated and quality kind of place. There are meeting rooms attached, and the library is located just off the river.

Friendly desk person, cozy library. It reminds me of the Walloon Lake one, but maybe a little less fancy. Libraries don't necessarily need to be fancy, it is what is inside that matters.
