Early in 1999, a group of Lansing residents saw that many of our young people and the not-so-young among us were hungry for reading and learning materials and had little or no access to major library resources in the area. These residents launched a project that led to the establishment of the Lansing Community Library Center (LCLC).

In response to community interest, they organized a Friends of Lansing Community Library Center, and the Friends quickly began raising funds and accepting donations. The old Lansing Town Hall was secured as a site and with a little work, LCLC opened its doors in July 2001.

Since then, LCLC's growth has been dramatic and continues daily. In July 2004, for example, over 1,600 patrons borrowed 2,300 items, compared to the 200 items borrowed by a handful of patrons in July 2001 when LCLC first opened. LCLC owns 90% of the materials we hold, and donations of new and current materials continues through the generosity of area residents.

If you would like to donate materials (books, videos, DVDs, etc.) to the library, please call us at: 533-4939.
