Prior to 1967, the publiclibrary was part of the Alpena Public School system and was housed in thehigh school.[1] For the next seven years it occupied two storefronts on NorthSecond Avenue.
In 1974, the library moved into the present facility at 211 North First Avenue.The 20000square feet building was built with monies raised from county,township, and Federal Revenue Sharing Funds plus a $100,000 grant from theJesse Besser Fund.
In 1985 a library millage was passed by the voters, and a renewal was successfulin 1995. An energy retrofit was done in 1986, and in 1997 the building receiveda complete makeover, which included an electrical upgrade. A new computer lab,with a direct connection to the Internet, was part of that project.
