Reed City Area District Library

At 829 South Chestnut Street in the Community Crossroads of Reed City, MI sits your local library! This district library was established in 2014 and was previously known as the Reed City Public Library. The library is funded by a millage that was passed by participating municpalities in 2014 and 2024. The library was established to build community connections by providing books, technology, prorgams and other resources for lifelong learning, professional development, and for fun! 

 

The library provides free library cards to all residents within Reed City and the townships of Cedar, Green Charter, Lincoln, and Richmond with cards available to all others for a $45 fee. An outlined map of the townships we service is available below.

 

Employees at RCAPS can get a free card with staff ID. Students attending school in Reed City (RCAPS) can get a card for free regardless of their home address with a presentable student ID and a parent or guardian present.
​
The library system holds over 19,000 materials including books, audiobooks, graphic novels, magazines, and DVDs. The Library is always adding new materials as well, including new books and DVDs! In addition, we have thousands of e-resources for our patrons, including e-books and audiobooks with Libby and video streaming (movies and TV) with Kanopy.

 

Every year, the Library hosts the Summer Reading Program to encourage everyone to read during summer. The library has additional programming throughout the year that you won't find anywhere else in town, including musical performances, animal exhibits, and a special visit from Santa himself. 
​
Patrons can visit anytime during regular business hours to utilize print and electronic reference resources, access the internet, view Library materials, or attend one of the Library’s varying programs. You do not need a library card to visit but just to check out items, please stop in and say hi!

Our friendly and professional staff are knowledgeable and eager to help you find your new favorite book!
