&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some History:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The Alto branch in Bowne Township  began in 1937 through the efforts of the Bowne Center Parent Teacher  Association. The next year the library joined with the Kent County Library  System. As the area has grown, so has the library. The library moved to its  most recent location in 1996, going from a building of 675 square feet to one  of 5,000.&lt;/p&gt;
