Grand Rapids Area Library

This is a WONDERFUL library. Amazing staff, superior volunteers and great resources. An embracing warm atmosphere for children and parents, teens and seniors. My heart hurts for the library, its staff and its patrons after funding cuts. The county and city can pay for a new jail & athletic facilities, etc but not the full operation of the library. The lives impacted by this, in my opinion, cruelty is just truly sad.

Overall, nice library with a decent selection of books, magazines, and even some miscellaneous items to check out like cake pans! The location is fantastic as well with a view of the river right out the back! But there are NO music CDs whatsoever available. The hours are also incredibly limited and they’re closed for the entire weekend.

We love this library! Being a frequent "visitor" to the area, we stop in at least once or twice every time we are up. The kids enjoy all of the materials and it is a great place to spend some time on days away from the lake, with the family, or just on quick runs for some material.

Was planning on going to Grand Rapids the other day but I didn't because the library basically isn't open anymore.

Friendly staff. I came to get my passport and they were so patient with me. After, I worked from my lap top in the back tables. They had cute cubbies with outlets to connect and set up my lap top to. Clean restrooms.
