Upcoming Programs

Published in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger’s Bildungsroman about sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield, is one of the most controversial novels in recent U.S. history. Since the early 1960s, disputes over Catcher in the Rye have arisen in more than seventy communities across the United States.

​

Join us to discuss The Catcher in the Rye during it's 75th year in print! 

The four Leelanau County libraries will host Amber Sheerin of the Michigan Library Association at the Old Art Building. Sheerin will discuss intellectual freedom as a core value of public libraries, including why the free access to information and ideas is central to a library's mission and critically important for communities. 

Cider and donuts will be served. Bring your questions!
 

LLYC (Leland Library Youth Council) is a high school volunteer group that works on library projects, programming, outreach, community connection and marketing. 

​

All teens in grades 9-12 are welcome to join. 

Storytime is designed for children aged 0-6 and their caregivers. This program runs weekly throughout the school year on Friday mornings at 10:30am. Stories are chosen around a theme each week, and we follow up with play or crafting as an extension of that theme.  

Storytime promotes early literacy among our youngest community members and offers caregivers an opportunity to connect. 

Join the Leland Cultural Campus Partners for a community celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, honoring the history, living cultures, and enduring presence of Indigenous peoples in Leelanau County and beyond.

James is the author of The Seven Generations and the Seven Grandfather Teachings and is recognized for his work exploring the deep connections between Anishinaabemowin (the Ojibwe language), culture, and traditional teachings.

More details and a full schedule coming soon.

In Monte Carlo, our unnamed heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady’s maid, she can barely believe her luck.
It is only when they arrive at Manderley, her husband’s cavernous estate on the Cornish coast, that she realizes how vast a shadow his late wife, Rebecca, will cast over their lives—introducing a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their love from beyond the grave.
