13 Locations & Bookmobile
The Capital Area District Library
(CADL) is a mid-Michigan destination for exciting programs, quality
materials and services, and access to technology, all free to the
residents in our district. We serve communities throughout Ingham
County (with the exception of East Lansing) with 13 libraries and a
Bookmobile.
Our communities reflect a wide variety of ages, interests and
cultures, and CADL strives to offer informative and entertaining
programs for everyone. These include core offerings like storytimes and
book discussions, as well as special events like author visits and
lifestyle seminars.
A CADL card is the key to
borrowing materials, using public computers and Internet, and accessing
specialized databases. All residents within our
service area are eligible for a free library card. Anyone living
outside of our service area may get a card by paying a yearly
non-resident fee.
Free Public Computers & WIFI
We offer a wide range of free computer
classes on topics such as basic computing, Microsoft Office, e-mail
and blogging. Whether you're a beginner or just want to sharpen your
skill set, you'll find a class that fits your needs.
CADL has WiFi hotspots at all of its member
libraries. Visit this page to
