Portage Public Library features over 33,500 square feet of space for materials and public use. The second-largest branch in the system, Portage combines the extensive amenities of a larger library with the cozy feel of a community branch. A two-story atrium anchors the building, which was originally opened in 1980 and dramatically expanded in 1996. Located just one block from City Hall and the Post Office, Portage Public Library is an active community hub, offering 7 study rooms and 3 larger meeting room spaces that accommodate groups of up to 100. An entire floor of Youth Services space and a variety of programs for all ages make Portage a popular family destination.
