Library of Michigan
Library of Michigan
The Michigan Legislature created the Library of Michigan to guarantee the people of t his State and their government one perpetual institution to collect, preserve and provide access to the story of the State, and to support libraries in their role as essential community anchors.
Since 1928, during Michigan's territorial days, the Library of Michigan has served state government and the people of Michigan much as the Library of Congress works at the federal level. The library's early task was to collect, compile and store Michigan territorial laws and other important documents that formed the basis for Michigan's government today. The library's responsibility has expanded to include a comprehensive collection of Michigan related documents, journals, books, and other materials.
