CMPL Main Library turns 20 CLINTON TOWNSHIP — In the words of Clinton-Macomb Public Library Director Larry Neal, where did the time go? The multi-township library’s main building at Romeo Plank and Canal roads turns 20 years old this October. “Overall, it’s definitely a reason to celebrate,” said Neal, who came to the CMPL system as the main library was being designed. “We are now, with 20 years under our belt for the main building, seeing generations of families come to the library, so that’s one of our great joys for
many of the staff members who have also been here for most if not all of that time.” Beginning in 1992 as a partnership between Clinton Township and Chippewa Valley Schools, today’s CMPL formed when Macomb Township replaced Chippewa Valley as a partner in 1997. Throughout its first decade, the library was based in a shopping center at Garfield and 19 Mile roads. Everything changed for the CMPL in 1998 when voters approved a proposal to create a permanent, purpose-built library and establish satellite branches in Macomb Township and southern Clinton Township. The Library Board began touring the country for libraries to See LIBRARY on page 14A
