The present map: The St. Joseph County Public Library as it stands at this writing: the Main Library at 304 South Main Street, open Monday through Thursday 9 to 8, Friday and Saturday 9 to 5, and Sundays 1 to 5 from September through May, with the Community Learning Center opening from 8 a.m., Studio 304 inside it, and Local & Family History on its third floor; and nine branches — Centre (1150 E. Kern Road), Francis (52655 N. Ironwood Road), German (52807 Lynnewood Avenue), Lakeville (120 N. Michigan Street), LaSalle (3232 W. Ardmore Trail), North Liberty (105 E. Market Street), River Park (2022 Mishawaka Avenue), Tutt (2223 Miami Street), and Western (611 S. Lombardy Drive) — counting the township seats of North Liberty and Lakeville among them. The executive director is Stephanie Murphy, appointed July 2022, the seventh head of the library since Evelyn Humphreys opened the opera-house rooms in 1889. The Western Branch's move to the Falcons building is under construction; the branches' Our Next Chapter renovations proceed. The institution that began in a back room of a Michigan Street store now lends, teaches, digitizes, feeds, and archives across eight townships — fine-free since 2022, and still, as in 1920, an institution supported by the people of its district.
