Library

A Library Is Not A Luxury But One Of The Necessities Of Life. 

The Pellston Library offers a quiet place to study, relax, work or simply escape in a good book inside or out in the new garden.

The Village of Pellston's Library is a branch of the Mackinaw Area Public Library. We are located in the Village Hall on Milton Street, one block west of US 31, between Main Street and Mill Street. The Library is open Monday and Tuesdays from 11am to 4pm and on Thursdays from 2 to 7pm.

The Friends of the Pellston Library is a volunteer organization. After filing our Articles of Incorporation, we were approved by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulation and became a legal enitiy in October 2021. Our purpose is to help The Pellston Library by supporting and raising funds to sponsor events, programs, speakers and projects specifically for the Pellston community. Our continued THANKS to the Village of Pellston for the opportunity to connect with our community on their website.

Since the start of the Friends of the Pellston Library (FOPL), last year, we co-sponsored a concert series with the Blissfest Music Organization. We partnered with the Little Travese Conservancy for several outdoor programs and walks. There was an Intro to Pickleball class at Pioneer Park, A Local Author Storytelling Program and Mike Fornes spoke on "Things that Happened on the Bridge".  We had a very successful book sale and we received a grant from The Harbor Petoskey Community Foundation for the construction of a garden in the area to the south of the Library. We hosted a Free Family Fun Night and Tree Lighting at the Library in December. We are busy planning our events and programs for this year. If you would like to volunteer or have questions about our group, please email Mary O at mary_rocks77@hotmail.com with "LIBRARY" as the subject.  

We have also been able to get shelves built for the Book Storage Room. Thank you to Mr. Armantrout and his woodworking class for bulilding and installing them. Thank you to Home Depot for donating the materials. 

Signs are being designed and created to designate the location of the different sections and types of books.

In partnership with the Mackinaw Area Public Library, we started a Seed Library. A Seed Library is a collection of seeds for flowers or vegetables that is made possible from the donations of seeds and volunteers who sort, catalogue and package seeds. The Pellston Library's Seed Library is open to residents of Pellston and its card holders. You do not need a library card to check out the seeds, but you will need to sign them out with the Librarian. 

 Join us June 1st  for the Second Annual Friends of the Pellston Library's Garden Party!
