What a great feeling and honor to walk into the City of Roseville municipal office and library!…read moreEven though I am no longer a resident of Roseville since 1993, I grew up in Roseville as a child, teenager and adult along with 10 years of "Cruising Gratiot" in my many rust bomb cars to a few hot rod fancy classics. On this check in with my 87 year-old Mother we were walking up the sidewalk to enter the building to pay her winter tax and water bill. She was overwhelmed as well as myself to see and read the bronze history plaques along our walk with memorable information, and history of our city. (SEE MY MANY PHOTOS). The flagpole was flying the American Flag, City flag, with the State of Michigan flag. The statues along the way were clean and glossy polished. Inside I photographed the library door with hours along with the plaque of board members for the city. Since my mother is having memory issues she was happy to read the current names of them to refresh herself since she worked in the City Assessors office in the 1970's. The treasurer Michael Switalski is always happy to see my Mom and myself since I went to Roseville High school with his younger sister. All the departmemts along with their employee's are pleasant and available at the counters when needed. Also in the area is the police station along with the circuit court offices. I never had to use those 2 department's or building in my young adult life and while driving on Gratiot. I was always obeying the law and speed limit on the weekends. In conclusion it's a great feeling to drive by, or stop in here to assist my Mom and remember the good old days of Roseville!

Roseville has a respectable library that is part of the Suburban Library Cooperative, a cooperative…read moreof East side libraries that have banded together to keep the joy of reading alive. RPL has a substantial collection of books, magazines, and papers - I cannot find an exact figure, but compared to the size of Royal Oak PL, it's about 3/4 the size, bookwise. RPL also offers an extensive online presence, both on site computers linked to a digital library and other catalogs including full text of local newspapers, which are also available for at-home viewing using your library card as a login. The one thing that RPL falls short on is with events. Now, they do have a strong summer reading program and a great once a month book sale (which I highly recommend. There's some treasures here), they don't have much in the way of arts. After being at Royal Oak PL and seeing that they have performing arts in an auditorium, as well as special guest writers, playwrights, musicians, film screenings (which RPL has also, but geared mostly towards children's cinema)... RPL just can't hold up to some of the other libraries in the area. Of course, I can't mention Detroit PL because it's king considering events AND selection size. Still, RPL is a great place to find books, whether you're a kid or an adult. It's the place that made me love to read - bring your kids here and maybe they'll become bookworms too!

It has plenty of natural light, lots of magazines, and every major local and national newspaper, along with comfortable chairs and a fireplace. I haven't used the study rooms, but I may reserve space someday for a quiet place to work. In my opinion, the parking lot is somewhat small and located a bit too far from the library entrance. It could be an accessibility issue for those who have problems walking, especially in the wintertime. Overall, I have no complaints. It's a good neighborhood library.

Despite being located right next to the police station there are signs EVERYWHERE warning you to not steal, to beware of thieves, etc... Message delivered Warren, you have sketchy library patrons. The building it is housed in does have a gorgeous entrance with high ceilings and plenty of windows. They have a tiny isle in the back of used books for sale but for this library you need to drive a few miles to visit their Friends of the Library to purchase books, dvd's, puzzles, etc. They did have one motorized scooter, which my mom could utilize. They have nice wide isles for navigating the scooter. There was plenty of comfortable seating. I saw one printer and copier located at the front entrance. They have a free public parking garage for you to use, which is very nice during inclement weather.

It is very updated so you don't get much engagement with the staff which is good for quick check out but bad if you need assistance. If you do need to speak to the person that sits at the front counter they will likely first try to ignore you and then maybe glance up and give you a clipped response. Either that or they will be too busy eating to be bothered by you. They also do not enforce many rules as there are always groups in there being extremely loud or playing loud music on their phones. I stop here because they sometimes have books or movies I'm looking for that my local library doesn't have. It is great for variety and for a quick in and out.

But the Clinton Macomb Library staff is trying to cover it up, even though I have proof. I just hope that Mr. Don Brown, Macomb County Commissioner can investigate this as he promised he would when I met him in person. I spoke to him yesterday and he indicated that I shouldn't be treated this way especially since I have proof of what occurred on 9/11. I did present the evidence to Kyle McKee this morning regarding the incident on September 11, 2024 at 11:25-11:30 am where Kim admitted that the Caucasian female Patron used profanity at me and the Librarian Kim lied to staff that it didn't occur. Even Larry lied in his response and said that it was frivolous. This is what Larry Neal, composed in his response to my grievance: "Examples of your conduct that must not continue include monopolizing the staff's time with frivolous complaints and interrupting staff trying to serve other customers" I asked Kim for help on September 11, 2024 because my prints wouldn't release. But Larry is lying and saying that wasn't true. Kim, the Librarian indicated that the Lady cursed at me because she felt disrespected by me. I have proof she said that. But Mr. Neal said it's all frivolous. Kim, Clinton-Macomb Librarian admitted to me at the copier area at 11:30 am September 11, 2024 that the woman cursed at me because she felt I disrespected her, by implying to her that she thought I took her money. This is what occurred at the main copier/printer area on 9/11/24 At 11:30 am at the copier, I told Kim, "So, is it okay that she cursed me out?" Kim said: "No it's not. What would you like me to do? I mean she. I'm here trying to help both of you" I said, but I didn't know she had money in there. Kim said: "Well she didn't apparently, she didn't. I said, I'm tired of being disrespected" Me: I can't complain because y'all tell Larry that I complain too much. I said to Kim, "she just cursed me out for nothing and if it was me". Kim said, "That's not true Angela because she felt you were being disrespectful to her. I can't get in between both of you when she left. Kim said that she felt I was accusing her of believing that I stole her money. I said that wasn't what I was trying to do. Kim said I know that. Kim said but she felt that way. I told Kim you can keep that money, I'm not a thief and started crying. She falsely told Ann that the woman did not use profanity towards me and accused me of telling the woman that she was trying to take my money. But I never said that. Kim said to Ann that the woman said I was implying that she was trying to take my money. I never said that and Kim knows that. Kim told Ann that she didn't use profanity towards me. So how can I prove that the Clinton-Macomb Librarian, Kim, was dishonest by informing Melissa and Ann, and probably you Larry that the Caucasian female patron never used profanity to me and that I brought it on myself? When I submitted a Grievance via email on September 12, 2024 to Mr. Neal to submit to the Clinton Macomb Library Board, they retaliated by threating to ban me for speaking about this. The Library Director and their Board indicated that my allegations were frivolous even though I have evidence on what Kim, Librarian stated to me. This is unfair and ethical of Mr. Neal to indicate that my allegations' regarding September 11 was frivolous when I have evidence to dispute that. You also accused me of wasting staff time when I asked for help on September 11 because my documents wouldn't come out. I never got my change back either. I have rights and for Mr. Larry Neal to not address why Kim refuse to address a Caucasian female using profanity at me is not right. It's in the Code of Conduct. I feel like as a Diabled Black female, Mr Neal is sayinf that I dont have the right to be respected.

Even though I'm a Warren resident, I'm able to use the Center Line library for all my needs because it's part of the Suburban Library Cooperative. Center Line's holdings are small but diversified. Everything is located in one big room. They have several computers right up front if you need to access the internet. The atmosphere has always been quiet and laid-back when I have gone in. Parking is *much* easier here than at the Warren Civic Center Library, which would otherwise be the closest one for me. As a history major in college, I spent a lot of time in libraries and archives of all sizes across the country. When you're doing academic research, you learn to judge the quality of a library by the helpfulness of the librarians and their ability to acquire books on ILL (inter-library loan). This is where the Center Line library really excels. I've always found the staff to be attentive, and they fully participate in the MEL (Michigan E-Library) program, so you have access to materials from across the state.
