With sponsorship from the PTA and the Recreation Association; a self-established Library Board of six members was created and met for the first time on January 7, 1955. Furniture and equipment were donated by the mining and construction companies, money for supplies came from various local organizations, and working staff members were volunteers. On August 26, 1957, the village council passed ordinance No. 13 establishing a public library for the village. The first library was housed in a small section of the Municipal Building which also housed the police department and village offices. The Library\u2019s first material collection began by donations from local residents and 500 titles from the Minnesota State Library. In 1967, a new and separate library building was dedicated with construction cost about $95,000.00. The library serves the residents of Silver Bay and Lake County. In 1973, the library joined the Arrowhead Regional Library System.&nbsp;In 1980, the Library joined the North Country Library Cooperative. Today, the library strives to provide the best library service for its customers. The seven-member Library Board meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 4:30 PM in the Library. As a member of the Arrowhead Library System, resources are available from the 27 other libraries in the system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Suggestion-Collection-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Suggestion-Collection-1-1024x938.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Suggestion-Collection-1-1024x938.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Suggestion-Collection-1-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Suggestion-Collection-1-768x704.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Suggestion-Collection-1-1536x1407.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Suggestion-Collection-1.jpg 1765w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_69382-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_69382-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_69382-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_69382-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_69382-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_69382-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_69382-1536x903.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_69382-2048x1204.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Teen-Zone-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2370\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Teen-Zone-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Teen-Zone-scaled.jpg 2370w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Teen-Zone-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Teen-Zone-948x1024.jpg 948w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Teen-Zone-768x830.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Teen-Zone-1422x1536.jpg 1422w, https:\/\/www.silverbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Teen-Zone-1896x2048.jpg 1896w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2370px) 100vw, 2370px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Library Mission and History LIBRARY QUICK LINKS Mission An interactive information and enrichment center that enhances community life by engaging all generations in learning and fun.
