Librarians are helpful, library has Wi-fi, view of the marina, and information on all the local events. Saturday is also Farmers Market and crafts in the next-door park.

Andrew staircases and…read moreladies As with many towns and cities, the first hint of a public library in Manistee started in around 1885 when an enlightened group of women decided the town needed a place where the citizens of the town could have public access to books. So they just sort of started storing the small collection of books wherever there was room but realized a more permanent location was needed. So in around 1903 the women get serious and managed to get funds for a library from the famous philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. By 1905 the grand library was open for business. The library was designed by the famous architect G Harvey in a cool Beaux Arts Classicism style. The building featured a grand and massive entrance as well as elaborate staircases and other interior detailing. The library of course has changed a lot throughout the decades and now has the latest computers and digitalized materials. However it still features the elegance and aesthetics of the original design. The library has friendly and knowledgeable people working there and a very logical and easy to use system to locate books or other materials. Lots of places to sit and read or just loiter around. A wonderful library that has a unique appearance and a spacious interior that allows the visitor to be comfortable while conducting business or research.

The White Lake Community Library is a new, clean and modern facility within the Muskegon County…read moreLibrary System. The building is designed in a charming arts and crafts style and also serves as a starting area for the wonderful biking and walking trail nearby. The library has Internet equipped computers, adult and children's sections and a sunroom area with magazines, newspapers and comfy chairs. Any time I have orders items, the librarians are willing to check the status of the items and are pretty helpful. The one improvement I would like to see would be a few really comfy chairs or couches. The ones they have are Stickley style and have wood arms, which makes it a little more difficult to curl up in with a good book.

Besides having free WiFi and a great place to work (which makes extended stays possible), this library offers an amazing amount of resources, given the size of the town. Of particular note is the adorable kids section, which is quite handy during rainy days when kids feel cooped up inside (yes, speaking from experience). The staff is so friendly, and the front entryway always has info on summer events. We love this library!

The details in this library are absolutely breathtaking inside and out. Come here just to see all of the beauty, and wonder why people don't put nearly as much love into making buildings today. The employees and volunteers are very kind as well.

Prior to the shutdown, I visited and looked for several books for my son. I did notice that some of the kids books, at least in the "dinosaur" section were pretty worn and old, so I was already worried about germs. Post pandemic, they are open limited hours and don't allow browsing in most sections, but I have still popped in several times to pick up books. They "quarantine" books upon return to make sure they are safely ready for the next visitor. Reading is a great thing to do during the pandemic, so keep visiting the library!
