Chippewa River District Library System is a treasure trove of resources and services ready to make summer reading fun and easy.
Here’s how you and your kids can make the most of the library this summer:

Anything is Possible with your Library Card
A library card may be a simple piece of plastic, but it holds immense value and numerous benefits for those who possess it. It’s more than just a free pass to borrow books; it’s a gateway to a world of knowledge, entertainment, and personal growth. With the simple scan of a library card, you can learn a new language, start a small business, or even travel the world without leaving home. Honestly, anything is possible with your library card!
