Ladies' Library, Kalamazoo, MI

Our Book Collection

The LLA opened the first lending library in Kalamazoo in 1852.  Over the years, books were added to the collection by purchase and donation.  By 1879, the collection grew to over 2,000 books and increased to 3,000 in 1908. 

Many treasures remain in the bookcases including works by Dickens, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Longfellow and Emerson.  These books stand in tribute to the women of the LLA who gave the village of Kalamazoo it’s first public library.
