Ann Arbor District Library

Biography

The Ann Arbor District Library (AADL) is a public library system that serves the residents of the Ann Arbor, Michigan school district. The Downtown Library, located at 343 South Fifth Avenue, was dedicated in 1957 and had building additions in 1974 and 1991. AADL also includes four branch libraries: Malletts Creek, Traverwood, Pittsfield, and Westgate. At the beginning of the fiscal year of 2021–2022, the library reopened for full service after a year of vestibule service during the COVID-19 pandemic. 8,403 new library cards were issued during the fiscal year, and AADL saw a total door count of 909,101. The library's system holds over 480,000 materials - including books, DVDs and Blu-rays, CDs, audiobooks, tools, art prints, language materials, and more. These materials saw almost 5 million checkouts in the 2021-2022 fiscal year. The library also offers access to databases and Libby, an online source of ebooks and audiobooks. While these numbers don't fully compare to pre-COVID-19 numbers, they're approaching an equilibrium.
