The Fife Lake Public Library is a member of the Traverse Area District
Library (TADL) and Northland Library Cooperative. Within the TADL district
there are six public library facilities supported by the district millage.
Three of these facilities (Fife Lake, Interlochen, Peninsula) are Member
libraries that receive most of their support through a contractual
agreement with the district. Although Member libraries have independent
elected boards, hire their own library directors, and operate autonomously,
they are full partners with TADL in that their collections are shared
throughout the district, and they participate in the online public catalog
as well as TADL provided public computing and wireless access systems.
