Three Oaks Township Library and Museum - Entrance

Three Oaks Township Library and Museum

This imposing, century-old building stands in the heart of Three Oaks, and houses not only the…read moretown's public lending library; it also contains a bicycle museum and a museum of early 20th century life on the 2nd floor. I've stopped at the library twice in the past week, partly because the library is giving away some older books, but also because the museum areas are so interesting. The building itself was erected about 1898, when the town of Three Oaks clearly had some money. The steps leading up from the front door are marble. As you enter, you see some amazing woodwork and molding along the ceilings, and beautiful chandeliers that hang in the public library. It really looks more like a rich man's private library than a public building. On the 2nd floor, accessible by either an elevator or another marble staircase, there is a room of antique bicycles. One two-wheeler dates from around the time of the American Civil War, with wheels made of wood and covered in iron. There is a side-by-side tandem that looks like it was supposed to be a love seat on wheels. There are bikes from the 1920's through the 1970's, including a child's carriage powered by pedals. Down the hall are 3 or 4 rooms that illustrate late 19th-early 20th century life. One shows a parlor, and it contains a female mannequin wearing a lace dress. There is a tool room that contains woodworking tools as well as spinning wheels and the equipment needed to card wool. Beyond that is a huge wall safe that looks like it belongs in a bank. I don't know why that was originally put in; I did not see any signage describing it. On the other side of the 2nd floor, there are computers for public use. We saw a number of 10-12 year old boys working on projects, singly and in pairs. We also saw signs that indicated that the library was running summer school programs. Can't tell you any more about that, other than that the library does seem to be a real community center. Admission is free to the library and its museum exhibits. You're welcome to take some of the free books, but it would be courteous to leave a donation. Beautiful, interesting building that will doubtless impress and fascinate students of architecture and history. It's well worth a visit as you wander the quiet streets of Three Oaks.

I love libraries and visit them in other cities whenever I can! I've been to this branch of the…read moreHerrick District Library a few times now and I'm always impressed with the selection of items. The parking lot in front of the building is free. Walking in the main entrance, new books are in the front and there is an info desk nearby. The new book section of any library is my favorite, and they even separate out the new cookbooks, which is my other favorite section of any library. I had fun looking at lots of great new books and then wandered around a bit. There is a great section of DVDs, video games, and even board games that you can check out. They have an extensive seed library, and I saw kits to test your home energy levels. Lots of great resources at the library beyond just books. I liked the touch screen kiosk that you can use to browse the library catalog or search for events. There is ample seating and I found a cozy spot to sit and use their free wifi to get some work done. I was impressed with the library staff as I noticed them acknowledging all patrons and handling all situations and interactions with care. I am a strong supporter and lifelong user of libraries, and this is a good one.

Lots of great kids actives!…read more Whenever I am here there seem to be a lot of kids actives happening! I love this because they also have a good age range for kids. Will be coming back soon!

Great break out rooms to study! Near some cool places to eat and parking was super easy!read more

As a former librarian, I have a deep love for libraries that started when I was a kid. There are…read moretwo library systems in the Grand Rapids area: Grand Rapids Public Library (GRPL), and Kent District Library (KDL). GRPL is my home library system, which covers the city of Grand Rapids. KDL's service area is anything outside of GR proper, including Byron Township, Caledonia, East Grand Rapids, Plainfield Township, Wyoming, etc. Library cards are free to residents with proof of current address. GRPL no longer charges fines on late materials, which is amazing and a great step for accessibility for the library. (If you lose or damage items, you still have to pay to replace them.) The main branch of GRPL is housed in the beautiful Ryerson building, which was originally built in 1902. The limestone exterior and Italian carrara marble steps give the building a historically regal look. The interior has been updated and added on to over the years, but it's always fun to find old touches inside the building. Multiple floors make up the main branch, so it can be an adventure to find things. Just ask a friendly librarian or staff person and they can direct you where you need to go if you're in a hurry. Self checkout stations are located on the main floor right inside the entrance, and new books are located nearby. The library houses an amazing collection of books, vinyl records, DVDs, CDs, used books for sale, a great local history collection, computers for internet access and library catalog searching, and more. They host many community events and lectures throughout the year. There is a designated parking lot for the main branch. The first two hours of parking is free - just get your ticket validated on the main floor. Parking rates are $1.10 per half hour during the week, free on weekends and for library events. I love spending time at the main branch and try to get there at least once a month, as the selection is huge and I can always find something great to check out when I'm there.
