About Us

Welcome to the Buchanan District Library!
Enriching your life. Empowering our community.
Buchanan District Library is your hometown library, offering books, programs, and services to enrich your life and empower our community. Enjoy more than 51,000 items to check out, including books, audiobooks, movies, music CDs, and video games. In addition, we have a Library of Things that includes instruments, tools, hotspots, outdoor gear, kitchen equipment, puzzles, and much more. During the growing season, be sure to check out our Seed Library, with more than 250 varieties of seeds for you to take home and plant in your garden. And we offer all of this without charging late fines! Oh, and did we mention our many programs and events for kids, teens, and adults? Our library is a place for people to connect to information, resources, services, and each other. We hope you’ll be part of it!
Buchanan District Library serves an area that includes the City of Buchanan, Buchanan Township, Bertrand Township, and parts of Niles Township. If you’re not sure if you live in our district, just call and ask!

Why join the library?
SAVE MONEY
Collectively, our patrons saved more than $800,000 last year by checking out items rather than purchasing them. Wow!

Participate in reading incentive programs, book clubs and discussions, and community events! Be part of the hub of our community, where everyone comes together to learn with, and from, each other.
Our eLibrary is always open!
