On November 6, 1984, the residents of Auburn Hills voted to separate from the City of Pontiac to establish their own Library Services for the Auburn Hills' community. The Auburn Hills Clerk's office announced their excitement over the prospect of opening their own library early 1986.
The grand opening of the Auburn Hills Public Library, located in the Old Mansion took place on February 17, 1986 and a dedication ceremony was held on April 6, 1986.
The Brunette House, the former long-time private residence for Annette Brunette, was moved from Mount Clemens Road to the Auburn Hills Civic Center in 1987. The Library celebrated its grand opening April 22, 1990.
Let's take the time to celebrate a wonderful milestone in Auburn Hills' community history. The Auburn Hills Public Library is celebrating 25 years of service to the community. Please join the Library Board and staff in remembering the past and looking forward to the future, on October 22, 2011. Celebration information will be posted throughout the library in the upcoming months.
Stephanie McCoy, Library Director
The library will be closed Labor Day weekend - Saturday, September 3 - Monday September 5, 2011.
