Plymouth District Library

Mission: to create connection and opportunity for our entire community, because we are stronger together.

The Plymouth District Library is located in Plymouth, Michigan, a community situated 30 minutes west of downtown Detroit and 25 minutes east of Ann Arbor. We serve the city of Plymouth, as well as Plymouth Township.

For the first 58 years of its existence, beginning in 1923, Plymouth Dunning-Hough Library operated as a branch of the Wayne County Library. The county system enabled new and growing communities in suburban Detroit to establish professionally run libraries. The local community provided a suitable building, and the county supplied the trained staff and management, with the cost of the operation gradually shifting from the county to the local community.

We are a public library with materials lending services, information and research assistance, public access computers, and events/classes open to the public as well.

Thousands of high-quality tutorials and Online Learning experiences are available with your library card. Tackle Research that requires more than Google can handle using professional databases with your library card. Get plugged in to online reading or listen to digital audiobooks with our vast collection of Downloads & Streaming services.

We extend our impact beyond books to share non-traditional collections with our community. Check out our growing Library of Things, which include STEM learning kits for kids, telescopes, and more. Learn more about our support for sustainable practices with our Seed Library and support for bikes.

Experience even more resources in our building, from Computers for public use to play areas for kids. Meeting Rooms are available for reservation as well.
