Montmorency
County was originally named Cheonoquet, after a Chippewa chief, meaning
"big cloud". The present day name honors Count Montmorency,
who fought for the colonies in the Revolutionary War. It is
a land of unspoiled wilderness, nestled
in the woods between
Alpena and Otsego Counties, a perfect vacationland with many
resorts and campgrounds. The abundant lakes and streams
offer Pike, Bass and Trout fishing, for winter visitors there is
snowmobiling and skiing. Montmorency has three libraries to meet
the growing needs of the community.

History
The Lewiston Public Library was originally housed in a small room in the
Albert Township Hall. In February of 2003 the library was advised
that it would have to move because the township needed the space to
conduct it's business.
The thought of our community not having a library rallied a group of
concerned citizens who became the Friends of Lewiston Library (FOLL).
They immediately went to work to find a replacement building.
In June of 2004, a dedication was held to celebrate the donation of a
building and recognize the community members who had helped to start the
conversion of the former carpet store into our new library.
Our spacious new library floor plan of 5300 sq. feet, includes an adult
section, computer room, juvenile section, audio/visual room, community
meeting room and the FOLL office/gift shop.
The generous contributions of our community members have allowed FOLL to
successfully renovate most of the building into usable space. The
last of the building renovations will be completed as funds become
available.
