Hoyt Library Elevator CLOSED

Hoyt Library is getting a new elevator! All areas of the library will be open during the installation, but starting Wednesday, January 21, elevator service will be down for approximately 3-4 weeks. That leaves stairs to get into and around the building. 

Patrons with mobility concerns can call (989) 755-0904 for assistance or visit one of our other library branches.

The entire staff of the Public Libraries of Saginaw works hard daily to fulfill our mission: encourage reading and lifelong learning through education, enrichment and entertainment.  Our Public Libraries stir the imagination of children, ignite the creativity of adults and keep the doors of learning and knowledge open for everyone.  Our local history and genealogy collection is one of the premier collections in the Midwest.  Ever-advancing in the digital age, the library supports downloadable books, audio books and magazines. 

As we end this calendar year, we want to thank you for your past support of our Public Libraries of Saginaw.  It is because of generous community members like you that we are able to provide evolving library services.  Your gift can easily be turned into a memorial or commemorative gift – making it perfect for the holidays.  Of, there are other ways of giving such as through your annual IRA distribution, stock donations, or by naming the Public Libraries of Saginaw in your will or estate plan.

Please donate now and show your support.  Your gift, no matter the size, provides opportunities for growth of library services for years to come, giving inspiration for today and security for tomorrow.  We thank you!
