- Context
- The original library was organized by a group of civic minded women in 1900, and operated in space donated by the village council. By 1907 the library required a larger space, and leased a building behind Mr. Davenport's bank. By 1916, the library's annual circulation was over 2700 books, and Mrs. Davenport donated the funds to build a new structure on North Ann Arbor. The library remained in this building until 1968, when it outgrew the building (annual circulation 8500), and moved to the Schleh property at 201 South Ann Arbor. It remained at that location until January 1994, when it moved into the modern new building at 555 N. Maple Rd. The building on N. Ann Arbor was converted into Larder's Book Shop in 1968.
