History of the Pinckney Community Public Library

The Pinckney Library's Local History Room is located behind the library's circulation/information desk. The room is accessible during the library's normal, business operating hours.

LOCAL HISTORY ROOM & COLLECTION

The purpose of the Local History Room is to house materials that record the history and development of Pinckney, Putnam Township, and surrounding areas as they pertain to Pinckney’s past. Local history room materials will be limited to those relating to Pinckney & Putnam Township’s history and formation.

The collection contains a range of formats including, but not limited to: books, newspapers—print & non-print formats—pamphlets, maps, photographs, prints, electronic database and other forms of publications that may be indexed or cataloged. Materials providing instruction relating to genealogy, local history, preservation and oral history will also be included. Due to the nature of this collection, materials must be used in the Local History Room and cannot be borrowed or taken out.
