📖 About Cadillac Wexford Public Library
The Cadillac Wexford Public Library traces its roots to the Cadillac Carnegie Library — the city received Carnegie funding early in the twentieth century, and its historic library building still bears a Michigan Historical Marker. Cadillac itself was settled in 1871 around the lumber industry on Clam Lake and incorporated as a city in 1877, later renamed for Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, the French explorer who founded Detroit. Today the library operates as a county-wide system serving all of Wexford County from its main branch on South Lake Street, with additional branches in Manton, Mesick, and Buckley. The main library offers 3D printing, a Text-a-Librarian service (231-577-9393), adult book bags, genealogy resources, and meeting rooms. Digital collections are available through Up North Digital (Libby), Kanopy, hoopla, and Michigan's statewide MeL database portal, giving every cardholder round-the-clock access to research databases, e-magazines, and more.
