We love this big old library. It has loads of history and the librarians are always very helpful. The building is beautiful and worth the trip all by itself.

Not everything you want to know is on the internet. You'll find a treasure of information in this library system; don't pass it up!

In the need of a break and some reading materials? Check out the Grand Rapids library. They have recently updated their teen area, friendly staff, internet access, and books!

We brought our great nephews here for the Magician show. It was an amazing, fun show for us all. He was awesome with all the kids, involving many and wowing everyone else. The fact that this was a free event made it even more amazing. They even offered free juice and snacks for the kids. After the show we went to the children’s section. The librarian there was so wonderful with the boys. He answered ALL their questions and even helped us adults locate a lunch location nearby. The book selection is amazing. We had a hard time getting the boys to leave. Thanks for making the library such a fun place for everyone!

I recently did research for a few days in the Local History collection in the GRPL. The staff on the 4th floor were extremely helpful in answering any questions I had. I am an experienced researcher so mostly needed to know how to work the equipment and find resources. Thanks to all of them! Also loved the historic building!
