The Plymouth District Library, along with most community institutions, is currently closed per Governor Whitmer’s order.

We are not certain when the library will re-open. Currently all checked out items are due by April 20th. Our drive-through book drop is closed, so please return your materials after the library re-opens. The due date for the return of all materials will be extended as needed. Overdue fines are not being assessed while the library is closed.

Please enjoy our e-resources at plymouthlibrary.org (24/7!) and watch our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts for updates.

The Digital Library is OPEN!

The library has quite a few options for those of you stuck inside during our quarantine. We have shifted resources to invest more in our online materials and will be trying to adapt library services to meet the urgent needs of our community during this trying time.

All you need is a Plymouth library card to get started.
