Les Cheneaux Community Library, a Superior District Library

Les Cheneaux Community Library, a Superior District Library About Les Cheneaux Community Library (LCCL), a Superior District Library. LCCL is a member of Superior District Library. Your library staff welcomes you.

The Les Cheneaux Library was built in 2003 through the work of a committed group of volunteers and the generosity of many in our region. Our beautiful library is a true reflection of the unique character of the Les Cheneaux area. The log cabin structure features a quiet reading room with a fireplace, computer lab, wireless internet, wrap-around porch, comfortable furnishings, murals and stained gl

ass by local artisans, and a meeting room with a large screen for media presentations. Funding from a small millage, penal fines, and donations cover the day-to-day costs of running the library, including staff salaries, internet, interlibrary loans, books, and other materials. Friends of LCCL provide maintenance of building and grounds, including utilities, insurance, cleaning, landscaping, snow removal, and trash removal. The library has over 2,500 members and houses a collection of over 19,000 titles. In 2013, patrons accessed our wireless network over 6,000 times and over 13,000 items were checked out. Donations comprise a portion of our budget and the Friends of LCCL's budget. The generosity of our patrons is greatly appreciated. We know you will enjoy the time you spend at the Les Cheneaux Community Library. Jane French, Branch Manager

What’s in the Works for LifeLong Learners:

LIFELONG LEARNERS, GREAT COURSE, Tuesday, Sept. 1st, 2026 at 10:30am library

We are happy to announce the current venture into knowledge.

Online Course: Native Peoples of North America from The Great Courses ...

Join the Smithsonian and an award-winning professor to recount an epic story of resistance and accommodation, persistence and adaption, and extraordinary hardship and survival.

There are 24 segments running 30 min each. We will view two segments each week. Week of Sept. 1st we will be viewing …

13: Native Resistance in the West, 1850s-1870s

Delve deeper into the struggle for lands in the Plains between the 1850s and the 1870s. You'll meet the fighters you've heard of, such as Sitting Bull, as well as those you may not have heard about, such as the Hunkpapa Gall, the Oglala Crazy Horse, and the Northern Cheyenne Wooden Leg, who led successful battles and defeated General Custer.

14: The Last Indian Wars?

Focusing on the Far West, Southwest, and Plateau regions, Professor Cobb examines early laws put in place in California to "control" Native Americans during the gold rush, including state funding to kill or enslave Native Americans. You'll also meet the "real" Geronimo and learn how he came to symbolize the Chiricahua Apache struggle to maintain independence.

Please Join Us for great discussions and a great path of new knowledge.

It was a fun morning with Emily Hastings from "Wings Up White Dove Release" of the Eastern Upper Peninsula. She was unable to release the doves due to this mornings rain. She did bring two doves with her to show everyone and let them pet the doves.

We hope to have her back on another Wednesday when the weather is better.

11: Native Transformations on the Great Plains

From John Wayne to Dances with Wolves, we are presented a very distinct view of Native Americans in the West. Professor Cobb presents a profoundly different perspective on this story. From Lewis and Clark's "discovery" of a West that was an established home for thousands of indigenous people to the three factors that drove more change than anything else in the transformation of Plains cultures-gun... 29 min
