The Peter White Public Library is a public library and community center in the City of Marquette, Michigan. The library building has stood at 217 North Front Street since 1904. An extensive renovation and addition was completed in 2000. The building also houses the Marquette Arts and Culture Center, and Tu Kaluthia Café. The library is named after Peter White, a local businessman, postmaster, real estate developer, Michigan Congressman, and philanthropist who lived from 1830 – 1908.

In 2012-13 the library contained over 250,000 items – including books, magazines, DVDs, CDs, art prints, and other formats. During that same year, the library welcomed an average of 918 visitors per day and circulated a total of 311,041 items. The library is operated by the City of Marquette. Nine townships in Marquette County also contract service with the library, bringing the total population served to over 37,000.  

Peter White Public Library is lucky to have the Friends of the Library, who commissioned Klassics by Kurtis, Inc. to design a glass ornament that would take this exquisite building into the homes of all those that enjoy spending time here.  As a result, this wonderful ornament depicts the details of the building including the date on the lower right side of the building "1903" and is sure to become an heirloom for generations.  This ornament measures:  2 3/4H X 5W X 3D  MOUTH BLOWN AND HAND PAINTED IN POLAND
