Detroit Lakes Library Club
Established in 1908, the Library Club meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month for programs on a variety of literary and fine arts topics. Membership is $2.00 per year and open to any interested person. All programs, however, are free and the public is cordially invited to attend.
Detroit Lakes Public Library Fund
The Detroit Lakes Public Library has received generous support from a wide community of users since the day it was first envisioned. The Library was first established in 1907 by men and women who wanted to improve the educational, cultural and literary life of the community.
A generous grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation in 1913 provided for the first building, which continues to be cared for and used by the residents of Detroit Lakes.
Community support in the form of general obligation bonds and private fundraising allowed the expansion of the Library in 1989.
In 1990, following in this tradition of community support, the Detroit Lakes Public Library Endowment Fund was created as a way for our community to maintain a Library of excellence.
The Fund is a community fund within the West Central Minnesota Initiative Fund. The Library Advisory Board is composed of representatives from the Detroit Lakes Public Library Board, the Detroit Lakes Library Club, the Becker County Friends of the Library, and the Detroit Lakes Librarian.
