'Books and Bites' Marks Baldwin Library's 90th Anniversary

BIRMINGHAM, MI — Funds raised from the the Baldwin Public Library’s annual “Books and Bites” event will go to renovating the youth room, according to library officials. The library is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and the theme Books and Bites will match the times it was built in as a “speakeasy.”

“We are very proud of the 1927 library building and are pleased to be celebrating its 90th anniversary this year,” said BPL Director Doug Koschik, who explained that the history of the Tudor-style building was so significant to residents that designers carefully preserved much of the structure during the recently completed renovation of the adult services section.

“One important feature of the adult services renovation was to spotlight the exterior of the original building. It’s succeeded in making people more aware of the history of the building,” he said.
