What is at Little Library on the Lake?
It’s a converted cargo container that houses all kinds of fun things available for loan with your LPLS library card. It sits on the actual beach at Lakeview Park, to the right of the café, near the playground. We have large games, sporting equipment, birdwatching kits, beach chairs, adult bikes and more. View the full list of available items.
Diaper Drive
All six LPLS branches will be collecting new, unopened packages of diapers to help fill the requests that come in to United Way’s 211 First Call for Help (FCFH) hotline. The highest need is in the larger sizes: five, six, seven and eight. For more information, or to learn about their Diaper Exchange Bank, visit uwloraincounty.org/.
Library of Things
Check out our collection of non-traditional items for loan! Your library gives you access to things you may not have realized like bikes, LEGO kits, fishing poles, giant yard games and more!
Celebrating 125 Years
We've got lots of special programs planned including decades-themed parties at each branch! Plus, many of our community partners are offering special discounts when you show your library card. Click here to learn more.
