The Peninsula Community Library (PCL) opened on a summer's day in 1957. Its collection was a mere 700 books, mostly borrowed and housed on the stage of the gym at the new Old Mission Peninsula School. Today, PCL, with a collection of over 28,000 items, is still an independent township library, operating by contract as a part of the Traverse Area District Library. This partnership, along with the relationship the library has established with eh Traverse City Area Public School District, has made the library a center of life that helps to bind a diverse, rural community together.
