Happy Homecoming Week, Cheboygan! Did you know? Here at the library, we have Cheboygan graduates and retired CAS teachers and aides on staff!

Homecoming 2026 in Cheboygan includes spirit week theme days, a powderpuff football game, and of course, a parade! The parade starts at 6pm on Friday. They’ll march down Main St, starting just north of Court, turning onto Division & again on Maple, to the football field.

The library is a one-block walk from prime parade viewing on Main *or* Division, and not too much further to reach the football field via the trail. Feel free to park in one of our lots Friday evening. You can even use our 24/7 wifi to post your pictures of homecoming highlights to your own social media pages.

Have fun, everyone!

It's another beautiful autumn Saturday at the library, and downtown Cheboygan is once again full of scarecrows!

Pictured today is our library scarecrow display, a scene from one of Shakespeare's famous plays. Our witches encourage everyone to scare up a good book! The library is open today from 10:00-3:00.

Harper Lee's 1960 classic To Kill a Mockingbird was voted America's best-loved novel in the grand finale of PBS's The Great American Read in October 2018. Out of 100 books, over 4 million public votes cast nationwide, To Kill a Mockingbird held the #1 spot from the first day of voting to the very end.

Considered one of the best novels of the 20th century, "To Kill A Mockingbird" is also, according to the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom, one of the country's most challenged and banned classical books.

Here at the library, we champion your freedom to read what you want to read. We protect your right to make decisions for your own families. Acknowledge banned books week 2026 with us by practicing your freedom to read: stop by to borrow the book of your choice. Together, we create a community where free people read freely.

Did you know? Our library is open 7 days a week-- including Sundays!

For twenty years now, the library has been open seven days a week for our community. Because people don't just work 9-5. Because kids have homework. Because the world just keeps going, and your access to resources needs to keep going, too.

We do have holiday hours around Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. You can watch for those details and weather-related closings here. Otherwise, you can count on the library to be open, today and every day. And our WiFi streams 24/7/365!
