Portage Lake District Library
- Portage Lake District Library
Portage Lake District Library is located in Houghton, Michigan, USA and serves Houghton and Chassell and Portage Townships. It was built in 1909, at the site originally occupied by the Armory Building for Company G of the Houghton Light Infantry, using a $15,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie.
Adams and Elm River Townships had been part of the library district, but in 1997 they voted to sever their relationship with it.
In 2006 the Portage Lake District Library recently moved to a beautiful new building on the Houghton Waterfront.
In 2003 a driver improperly changed lanes, hitting another car from behind and forcing it off the road; the second car killed a baby whose mother was walking him in a stroller and hit the (original) library, causing minor damage to the sandstone of which the library is largely constructed.
Portage Lake District Library participates in the Michigan eLibrary (MeL).
