OUR LIBRARY AND COMMUNITY:

Traverse Area District Library (TADL) consists of a network of libraries serving Grand Traverse County through the following locations: Main Library – Traverse City, East Bay and Kingsley branch libraries; the Fife Lake Public Library, Interlochen Public Library, and Peninsula Community Library. Three of these facilities (Fife Lake, Interlochen, Peninsula) are member libraries that receive most of their support from the district-wide millage. Although member libraries have independent elected boards, hire their own library directors and operate autonomously, they are full partners with TADL.

Mission

The Traverse Area District Library (TADL) provides dynamic resources and innovative services to stimulate intellectual curiosity, facilitate lifelong learning, promote literacy, and nurture personal enrichment.

Community

The Traverse Area District Library network is located in beautiful Grand Traverse County, a community of 93,000 residents. This area is a popular recreation destination with much to offer in all seasons of the year. While much of the county is rural, Traverse City is a dynamic and vibrant beachfront city. 

As affirmed by our 2021 strategic plan, our library patrons view us as a significant community hub and look to us to maintain strong partnerships throughout the community. Founded in 1869, the Ladies Library Association formed the first groundwork of what continues to be a strong community of library patrons. This includes an active Friends organization and library volunteers. Circulating over 1,000,000 million items a year, users throughout the county visit TADL libraries for books, music, movies, programs, computers, meeting room spaces, and more. 

We take pride in contributing to the quality of life in our area, supplementing the many parks, sports, beaches, cultural and art organizations, community service groups, and more. Many of the small and large downtowns are walkable, with unique shopping and dining options as well as a wide array of festivals. Many of our network libraries are steps away from downtown areas and enjoy taking part in community events in addition to providing our own programming.
