Feasibility Study Kicks off for Middleville Area Community Library
The feasibility study by Hopkins Consulting kicked off in January 2025. The feasibility study is a joint effort between the Middleville Village council, TK schools and the Friends of the Middleville Area Library. Letters were sent to community stakeholders to set meetings with Hopkins Consulting to discuss their support of a freestanding library for the Middleville area community.
Middleville is one of the few communities in West Michigan that doesn’t have its own stand-alone public library. Instead, the current Middleville public library has limitations of service due to its location within the TK High School. This results in very limited public access, shared staffing and constrained financial resources. Moreover, the library is unable to provide the library services that many residents enjoy in neighboring communities.
As a result, several years ago, a group of community leaders came together to explore the possibility of a permanent public library in Middleville. After months of careful planning, and an examination of community priorities and library needs, the leadership of the Friends of the Middleville Area Community Library, in conjunction with the Village of Middleville Ad-Hoc Committee, has developed a plan to make a new Middleville Public library a reality.
