Herrick District Library

Herrick District Library is a public library system serving the residents of Holland, Michigan and the surrounding townships. In 2008-2009, over the course of 583,000 visits, library cardholders checked out 1.2 million items.〔"Herrick District Library: Serving Our Community".〕 Its mission is to "welcome all people to a lifelong journey of enrichment and an exploration of ideas."〔(Official website )〕
==Herrick History==

Although Holland Township obtained its first library in 1847, it was not until 1867, when Holland became a city, that the Holland Public Library established its own collection. The library was housed first on the second floor of the old City Hall on 8th Street, later moved to the second floor of the Model Drug Store, also on 8th Street, and in 1911 finally moved to the new City Hall on 12th Street, where it remained until 1960, when the city built the Herrick Public Library.〔Vander Kooy, Mary. "History of the Herrick Public Library: 1958-1990." April 1991.〕
In 1953, Hazel Hayes, Holland's first professional librarian, was hired. Recognizing the city's need for funding for a new library, she wrote a letter to Ray Herrick, the owner of Tecumseh Products and originally from the Holland area, asking if he was interested in helping the library obtain a new building. Months later, he anonymously donated $300,000 to build a public library for the city of Holland. Following his gift, other groups donated funds, and in 1960, the newly built Herrick Public Library opened its doors on River Ave. between 12th and 13th Streets. Holland's mayor at the time, Robert Visscher, rejoiced at the opening of the new library, saying, "Never in the history of the community has anything so wonderful happened to the city of Holland…There is nothing we need as much as a new library."〔〔"City Given $300,000 for Library", The Holland Evening Sentinel, 24 July 1958.〕
In 1971, in order to expand its service area, Herrick District Library joined the Lakeland Library Federation, which became the Lakeland Library Cooperative in 1977, allowing library patrons access to a larger collection.〔
