Founded in 1924, Rochester Hills Public Library empowers people to explore and create with resources that enlighten, educate, entertain, and inform. The library serves as a community town square, where visitors enjoy innovative ways to learn and socialize through a variety of programs, including an annual summer reading challenge, parent-child workshops, weekly lectures, and more. The library’s expansive and user-friendly database system allows cardholders to checkout eBooks, movies, music downloads, language and genealogy services, online tutoring services, and consumer reports from the comfort of their home at no cost.
Rochester Hills Public Library is located in the City of Rochester and equally serves the residents of Rochester, Rochester Hills, and Oakland Township. The library has a dedicated millage from the voters in Rochester Hills, an auto-renewing contract with the City of Rochester, and Oakland Township has its own library board that contracts with RHPL.
