To set up a tour, call 616.988.5400 or fill out the tour request form. In order to provide your group with the best experience, tour groups are limited to 30 people or less.

Classrooms are welcome to visit the library during open hours! If you’re planning a class visit, we encourage you to let our staff know in advance to avoid conflicts with scheduled tour groups. Let us know by contacting us here.

Register your students for a library card online or pick up an application for each member of your classroom from any GRPL location. Note that students will need to provide their parent or guardian’s identification and, in the case of a paper application, their signature. Students, caregivers, or educators can return completed applications to any GRPL location.

We do! There is a quiet study room available at most GRPL locations for distraction-free studying or work.
Drop by any location or call to reserve a space for up to one hour. 

You can also enjoy a Solo Space on the Lower Level of the Main Library. A Solo Space is the perfect spot to enjoy quiet work or study time, meet remotely with colleagues, or take a phone call. Solo Spaces can be reserved for up to 1 hour at a time and are first come, first served.
