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.
