Special Collections at CADL
The Forest Parke Library & Archives serves as steward and primary repository for CADL's Special Collections. Many items are housed on-site, some are in off-site storage, others at branch locations. Some items are too fragile for public use. Please check on the availability of resources before visiting. Most holdings are within the Ingham County Local History Collection, which is comprised of books, manuscripts, photographs, maps, ephemera, film and 3D objects. The FPL&A is open to the public Tuesdays from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
