The Ishpeming Carnegie Public Library has a rich history of providing library services to the community dating back to the 1870s. Our current building located in downtown Ishpeming was built in 1904 with funding from Andrew Carnegie. 

Local author John Voelker was a life-long ICPL patron and it was because of his book, "Anatomy of a Murder" that the Ishpeming Library was involved in the film adaptation of the same name starring Jimmy Stewart.
