The Cedar Springs Library
A library association was formed in Cedar Springs as early as 1875, and the interest is
still strong today. A vibrant and busy community hot spot, the Cedar Springs Library,
located at 43 W. Cherry Street, serves patrons from Cedar Springs and all over northern
Kent County.Taxpayers in both Cedar Springs and Solon Township support the library. As
part of the Lakeland Library Cooperative, it has a borrowing capacity that far exceeds
the number of books on the shelves. They also have 6 public access computers available
during regular business hours.The library has outgrown its facilities, and is currently in the
midst of a fundraising campaign to build a new library on the northwest corner of Main
and Maple Streets, which should be built within the next 3-5 years.
Each year the CSPL runs a joint campaign with the Sand Lake/Nelson Library to
get all first graders in Cedar Springs Public Schools a library card, and each summer
they hold a huge summer reading program, with hundreds of area children and
adults attending. They also have a children’s preschool story time weekly, monthly
book discussions, author visits, and other events throughout the year.
Hours are Mon.-Tues. & Fri. noon-6 p.m., Wed. 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sat. 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. Closed Thursday and Sunday. Call (616) 696-1910 for more info.
The Sand Lake/Nelson Township Library
The Sand Lake library began providing library services to the community as part of the Women’s Club in the 1920s. The library
has moved several times, and in May 2007 it moved into a brand new facility at 88 Eighth Street in Sand Lake. Built in a rustic
style symbolic of the rural community, the new library is 8,350 square feet with
at least 5,000 square feet for library materials alone. This library is reminiscent of
a beautiful old red barn with a clerestory and an impressive stone fireplace. The
library features a community meeting room, child early literacy area, a special
teen area, study rooms, reading area with fireplace and chairs, and two rows
of public access computers. Part of the Kent District Library system and the
Lakeland Cooperative, the Sand Lake/Nelson Library can get most any book you
are looking for. They hold a summer reading program for children each year, along
with special events throughout the rest of the year, book discussions, and more.
Hours are Mon. & Wed. noon-8 p.m., Tues. & Sat. 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Fri. 1-5
p.m. Closed Thursday and Sunday. Call (616) 636-4251 for more information.
Spencer Township Library
In 1998, the Kent District Library opened a branch in Spencer Township in
a building it shares with the township offices. Located at 14960 Meddler
Ave., Gowen, the 2,000 square foot building is in a beautiful rural setting
near several lakes. They have
a special early literacy area,
teen area, and a number of
public computers available,
featuring children’s software,
Microsoft Office products,
and more. Each summer the
library holds a children’s summer reading program, and various special programs
throughout the year.
Hours are Tues. & Thurs. noon-8 p.m., Wed. 1-5 p.m. and Sat. 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Call (616) 984-5680 for more information.
Local Culture
The Cedar Springs Historical Museum is located in
Morley Park just off south Main and Cedar Street.
Visit the museum and step back in time as you tour the
one-room Payne School that was moved to the park
in 1971. The school has been renovated to reflect the
century long era in public education when one teacher,
lodging with a school family, taught all eight grades. In the museum itself, you step into the history of Cedar
Springs and its surrounding area. Established as a
lumber town in 1856, Cedar Springs boasted numerous
lumber and shingle mills. The museum’s displays reflect
this lumbering and farming heritage. On the front lawn
is a stump puller that was used to clear the stumps so
that the land could be farmed.
In addition to the many displays, the museum offers the
following services:
• Genealogy assistance
• Census information for research
• Microfilm access
Area libraries offer a gateway to learning
When you drive into Cedar Springs for the first time, you can’t help
but notice the small town charm. Antique lampposts line Main Street;
little shops and cafes show the city’s character. And look, an oldfashioned movie theatre! There’s no denying that movie theatres,
especially old ones like The Kent Theatre, captivate people. What
sets the Kent apar t from most old-time theatres is that the story
behind it keeps on captivating people, as the struggle to keep the
Kent unfolds.
The theatre was built as the Hubbard Opera House in 1880, and
over the years was used for all types of enter tainment and gatherings,
including dances, chicken suppers, school graduations, fiddle contests,
political rallies, plays, vaudeville productions, movies (both silent and
talkie), and talent shows. It passed through several owners, and closed
as a theater in 1975. It was used as a print shop for several years after.
The current Cedar Springs Theatre Association bought it in 1998,
and volunteers have worked non-stop, despite financial difficulty, to
fundraise and make improvements to this historic landmark in the
hear t of Cedar Springs.
In order to afford the renovations, the theatre association raises
money project by project, with fundraisers, and grants from
foundations and businesses. The Kent Theatre is used for both movies
and live performances—plays, concer ts, jam sessions, pageants and
poetry readings. Visit http://www.kenttheatre.com/ for information
on upcoming events.

The White Pine Trail is Michigan’s longest rail/trail
stretching a distance of just under 100 miles on the
former Grand Rapids and Indiana rail bed. The trail
reaches from the north end of Grand Rapids to
Cadillac.
The trail is surfaced with asphalt pavement from
North Park Street at the north end of Grand Rapids
north to the village of Sand Lake; a distance of nearly
22 miles. There is also a 13 mile section of asphalt
pavement between Big Rapids and Reed City. The
northernmost mile of the trail in Cadillac is also
paved. The remainder of the trail is surfaced with
packed gravel or cinders with pavement planned for
the future. Riders with hybrid and mountain bikes
will find the entire trail very enjoyable.
The White Pine Trail is open to hiking, bicycling, inline
skating, skiing and other forms of non-motorized
transportation. Snowmobiles are allowed from

I’m F ree
As first generation funeral directors, Mary and David Pederson made
the commitment to purchase the local funeral home from Bob and
Elaine Pierce on Oct. 31, 1972.
“We came to Rockford with faith in God, faith in outselves and a
determination to serve,” David said. “We feel it is a privelage and on
honor to be asked by families to help them in one of their hardest
moments in life.”
Over the years, Mary and David have tried to keep costs affordable
and to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a
year.
“We feel we’ve been blessed and one of your blessings is to have a
wonderful and caring staff,”

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.

The Cedar Springs Post Newspaper, a weekly publication, has been the
heartbeat of Red Flannel Town since 1988. Owned and operated out of
Cedar Springs, The Post defines what it means to be a local newspaper—
publishing and distributing free of charge—with stories unique to Cedar
Springs. You won’t find more news and feature stories from this area in any
newspaper other than The Post. The newspaper is available on newsstands
and in businesses around the northern Kent County area each Thursday, free
of charge. Subscriptions are also available if you’d like the Cedar Springs Post
mailed to you each week.“In my opinion, there’s nothing more American—or
as impacting to a community—than the local newspaper,” said Post Publisher,
Lois Allen. “The Post is exclusive to this community. It has its own personality
and it reflects the personality of this community.”
Located on 36 E. Maple Street, The Cedar Springs Post serves over 5000
families in northern Kent County—including Cedar Springs, Sand Lake,
Pierson, Gowen, Trufant and over 20 Lake Communities. It is kept alive by
the support given by the local businesses that advertise in it, and the loyal
staff who work hard to bring their readers the best newspaper possible.
Who says the best things in life aren’t free?
