The Ludington and Scottville Branches of the Mason County District Library are dedicated to providing a vast array of educational, fun, free programs to our communities. In addition to regularly scheduled programs, they frequently host special events for both kids and adults. All events/programs at the Mason County District Libraries are free.
As of August 25th, 2021, and in response to the substantial community spread of the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus, the libraries are requiring visitors to wear a mask properly covering the nose and mouth while indoors. They will provide masks to those that do not have them. Those that can’t wear a mask are welcome to utilize curbside service. Children under age 12 must be accompanied by a parent. Current library hours are Monday-Friday from 9am-6pm and Saturday from 9am-1pm.

Programs for Adults
First built in 1906 after receiving a grant from Andrew Carnegie, the Ludington branch of the Mason County District Library is over 100 years old and is proud of its heritage and excited about the future.
The Scottville branch first opened in March 1906 with 2,500 books. Today, there are close to 70,000 books, as well as computer stations that the public can use for free. The goal of the library is children’s literacy- encouraging children to read and engaging their minds, hands, and curiosity.
Despite all the stimuli in today’s world–from movies and television to video games and ipods–it’s nice to know that libraries will always be here. The Mason County District Library is an integral part of our Ludington community, and will be for years to come.
