Welcome to the home of the Branch District Library System on the Internet. The library's six branches serve the Branch County area in South-Central Michigan.

On this page you'll find stories important to all our library branches. Be sure to check out the individual branch pages for the latest at your favorite branch.

We now have State of Michigan Voter Registration forms at the Coldwater Library. Come to the Reference Floor for information and to get a form.

Once your form is completed, you can run it over to the County Clerk's Office in the Courthouse.

We are happy to announce our new digital archive for Branch County History.  We have started off by digitizing a collection of old audio cassette recordings of interviews conducted by the Branch County Historical Society.  Over time, we'll be digitizing documents and images related to our local history.  These items will come from collections at our branches in Coldwater, Bronson, Quincy, and Union Twp.  This will be an ongoing project, and special thanks to Nola Baker for helping to make this project happen.

You can view the digital archive here:

I hope you have had a chance to take a look at our new library system, EVERGREEN. We are proud at Branch District to be the first library in Michigan to run this open-source product.

As with any change this major, it will take both you and us a little while to get used to the new functions. This is where we need your help.

Tomorrow night our conversion to Evergreen begins! This process should be finished by Monday morning.  We'll still be open on Saturday, but operating in "offline" mode.  Please be patient with us, and make sure you bring your library card with you, since we won't be able to look up your account details.
