Pleasant Gem of a Library
This library is a comfort to visit. The garden area is open and the kalideoscope has flowers planted in it again after being left empty for years. A nice addition in the entryway is to see how the solar grid is performing. That is way cool. Many nice reading nooks for all ages. I especially like the room over the entrance with floor to ceiling windows on three sides. A nice relaxing place to enjoy a good book.

My home away from home
I am a genealogist who does lookups for people who live away from Bay City. This library has a whole room for genealogists!! Very nice to have all the materials in one area with microfilm readers and computer terminals. I also love the new book area and the knowledgeable and helpful librarians. When I was a girl many years ago it seemed like the librarians' job was to tell you to shut up and to guard all the books and keep them on the shelves. These librarians want the books to circulate and are willing to help you find just the right ones for you--if you're writing a paper for school or just reading for pleasure. Besides the collection at Wirt the library is hooked into the White Pine cooperative and the MELcat system and can probably get you the book you need within 5 days. And don't kid yourself--not everything is online!! Speaking of the digital world Wirt also has ebooks to download--my daughter told me that, I like to hold the paper book in my hands. Bring your family--bring your friends--I guarantee they'll find something to check out and it's all FREE!!

Beautiful library
Beautiful well kept library, built in recent years, with comfortable seating areas, plenty of open room, private study and meeting rooms, and well informed and professional staff. The library makes very good use of its space and serves the community in various forms from children's projects to a wide range community interests.
