Sorry parents, this group is for young adults and library staff only! Our first meeting will take place on:

Donating Used Books to the Center Line Library?
We accept books in good condition. These are put into circulation or given to the Friends of the Library for the annual book sale. Needed are recent hardcover best-sellers, cookbooks, westerns, science fiction, dictionaries, or children's books.
We are also looking for Center Line area history and/or pictures and Center Line school yearbooks for our archives collection.
Please wait until after the February 20th Book Sale to donate any used books. We are not accepting any donations at this time.
Did You Know?
Monetary donations to the library are tax deductible! Library materials purchased with your donations are a great way to commemorate a special event, such as the birth of a child, a wedding, or an anniversary. We put a plaquet in every book with the name of the person honored, and the name of the person who made the donation. It's a great way to celebrate a first library card too!
Remembrance Tree
On the brick wall at the library a ‘Remembrance Tree’ recognizes contributions of $100 or more to the Center Line Library. A leaf on the tree is filled in with the donor’s name or the name of a loved one in whose memory the gift is being made.
The tree was donated in memory of Theresa Pegan by her children.
If you would like to make a donation, contact the library at 586-758-8274 for more information.
