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.

The women will welcome and offer you a tour of the home or you can simply shop in their second hand vintage "store" in a dedicated room. They sell items both old and a couple new. The items are fairly priced but I still ended up passing on a beautiful gravy boat with a tray and I will regret it forever haha. They very welcoming to littles and offered a cookie after our permission. Just such a thoughtful gesture. They also have a restroom in case needed. In the back of the house there's a cabin from the late 1800's with a tombstone. The energy was really great so that's always nice. Definitely worth visit, even if you just have a few minutes. The house itself is very unique and beautiful. They are donation based but are not pushy whatsoever.

This location is the Chandler Park Branch of the Detroit Public Library. On Harper just north of…read moreConnor on the east side of the city, we are definitely not dealing with the best neighborhood. But parking was available on the street directly in front of the door, which was nice. I am used to using the main branch in midtown for my library needs, and that place is huge. All of the other branches are tiny in comparison, and Chandler Park is particularly small. Being a hot summer day, the place was full of neighbood folks (a mix of kids, adults, and elderly) hanging out, taking advantage of the free internet, and keeping cool. Any patrons not using the computers, were reading magazines or searching the DVD selection. The woman at the circulation desk was basically useless, directing me to incorrect areas of the library twice before just admitting she didn't know where adult nonfiction was (whaaaat) and sending me to the main librarian, who, on the other hand, was very knowledable and helpful. A friendly security guard hangs out to keep tabs on everything, as is the case at all of the Detroit library branches. Although the building is noticably old and not in the best condition, the Chandler Park Branch came through for me on a few books that the massive main branch did not have. It was good to see the library full of patrons, even if most of them were just there to mooch free internet and AC ( which, let's be real - is what most libraries are used for these days, be they in the city of suburbs).
