 The Ferndale Public Library
opened its doors in one room of the Central School building in 1930.
In 1954 the library moved next door to its current site at 222 East Nine
Mile, just one half block east of Woodward Avenue and right next door to
City Hall. The Library’s book and materials collection has grown
from 2,000 to over 98,000 items and includes books, books on cassette
and CD, videos, a CD musical collection, and videos in VHS and DVD.
 If you are
looking for a rewarding experience for your three 3˝ to five year old
child the Library offers storyhours designed to introduce children to
books and other activities. Storyhours include stories told and
read, fingerplays, action games, musical and craft activities. For
your 2 and 3 year old child the Library offers a lap sit toddler program
for adult and child. For school age children in Kindergarten,
first and second grade the Library offers Klip Klub – a story and craft
program.
The staff of the Ferndale Public Library has always offered friendly,
quality assistance. Answering telephone and in person reference
questions and helping users find exactly the right book are valuable
regular services. Among the Library’s many special services are
classroom loans to Ferndale schoolteachers, programs for adults and
children and interloan of materials not available in the library.
Each November the Ferndale Library holds its book, bake and bag sale.
Donations of used books and new baked goodies help to make this annual
event loads of fun for everyone and helps to pay for our summer reading
program for children.
