Welcome!

Please join us in planning for a new Harbor Springs Area District Library to serve all residents of and visitors to the Harbor Springs School District.

The Friends of the Harbor Springs Area District Library is working with citizens and municipalities on the project to build a modern, full-service public library here. The Friends is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization.

Working together, we can turn this dream into a reality and further enrich our beautiful community.
