The Fife Lake Public Library is a member of the Traverse Area District Library (TADL) and Northland Library Cooperative. Within the TADL district there are six public library facilities supported by the district millage. Three of these facilities (Fife Lake, Interlochen, Peninsula) are Member libraries that receive most of their support through a contractual agreement with the district. Although Member libraries have independent elected boards, hire their own library directors, and operate autonomously, they are full partners with TADL in that their collections are shared throughout the district, and they participate in the online public catalog as well as TADL provided public computing and wireless access systems.
