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.

Out-of-towners can't obtain a library card unless they can supply a permanent address in the area, but there are lots of little cozy seating areas for you to enjoy reading while you're there.

This library is small, but what do you expect from a library on an island? Franky, I'm surprised that there's even a library on Mackinac Island.

In the middle of the library are some long tables to sit at, and there are a few comfy chairs situated around a fireplace. This is a cute and charming public library. Of course, the public is free to visit this library. Hours vary, I think, depending on the season.
