What’s new in Empire this spring

From staff reports

The Glen Lake Library in Empire has temporarily moved to the green pole barn on M-22 just south of town (the former home of Grocers Daughter Chocolate) while the new library is being built on Front St. Pictured above is library director David Diller.

Meanwhile, the Empire Lakeshore Inn has officially opened next to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore headquarters on M-72. The inn’s 20 rooms are classy and modern, and increase the number of rooms for rent in Empire to 32. Pictured here is owner Peter Schous.
