The Fun Stuff

Some fun and interesting things that happen at the library!

Room for the View

In 2005, the Alma Public Library needed more space to accommodate all of our wonderful patrons! A group of passionate individuals from various parts of the community banded together to make this promotional video as a way to showcase the importance of the library and express the need for a long-term budget allocation for an addition to the building.

As of May 2025, the 20-year bond that was secured thanks to this video is officially paid off!

Let's Look at the Numbers

Library History

In the afternoon of May 2, 1907, a group of 20 prominent Alma ladies gathered in the parlors of the Wright Hotel to found the “Women’s Civic Improvement League.”  From this group, a committee was formed to study the possibility of establishing a circulating library for the people of Alma.
