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 the Traverse City Area Public School District, has made the library a center of life that helps to bind a diverse, rural community together.

PCL is located in Old Mission Peninsula School on Island View Drive off M-37 on the beautiful Old Mission Peninsula.  Please come into the school through the main entrance doors.  Continue walking straight through to enter the library.

PCL offers a collection of over 28,000 items including books, periodicals, audio books, DVDs and music.  Services include copier, fax and public Internet workstations.
