ORIGINS of TRAVERSE AREA DISTRICT LIBRARY

Library service in Traverse City had very early beginnings, the first progenitor of the Library District began operation in 1859. The Carnegie building was dedicated in 1905 and, with it the beginning of library service as we know it today. A substantive addition was made to the building in 1966. The creation of an independent library district was effected in January, 1984. Creation of the Traverse Area Library District pulled together library operations in a federated system that includes the former Traverse City Public Library and the Fife Lake, Interlochen, Kingsley, and Peninsula Public Libraries. The former Traverse City Public Library serves as the Headquarters Library for the library district. Branch libraries, the East Bay Branch Library and Kingsley Branch Library, are operated through the Traverse Area District Library. The new building, located at 610 Woodmere Ave., Traverse City, MI 49686, opened to the public January 10th, 1999. Web visitors may follow the construction of the new building on a guided tour with "Books N. Moore."
