I enjoy working at the tables as well as reading in the library. If there isn't a book you are looking for there - no worry! The librarians can summon a book from one of their many partner libraries - or even from any library in the entire State of Michigan by using MelCat!

The official and full name of the library is the 'Leanna Hicks Public Library'. If you are looking for a good book to read, seeking a new job or training, starting or continuing in a hobby or skill set - then the Inkster Public Library located at 2005 Inkster Road in beautiful Inkster, Michigan is the place for you. The Library Director is a leader in library science and has provided library programming for all ages to take advantage of resources, enjoy community involvement provide educational support. This library has access and offers instruction in securing that access to all the major Michigan Library tools available to library patrons. This includes MelCat. The MelCat service is funded by the Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) via the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library of Michigan, part of the Michigan Department of Education. Additional funding is provided by the State of Michigan. The MelCat service is one of the most powerful tools that Michiganders have in their pursuit of knowledge whether you are seeking entertainment, education or skill sets. The staff at the Leanna Hicks Public Library are engaged, informative and collaborative. Always greeted with a smile and a question as to how they can help me, I feel welcomed in this library and assured that I will accomplish my entertainment, learning or research goals while I am there. The director and staff are also engaged in the community. During recent cold spells the library became a 'warming center' for those citizens who had to contend with the extreme cold for various reasons. The children's programming is an especial wonder. Upcoming events are posted regularly on the library's website and also available at the library information wall and kiosk. Adult reading groups as well as craft groups are welcome at the library. The room rental is reasonably priced and amenities include wi-fi and other items. Tables and chairs are available. See Director and Staff for fees. Who is Leanna Hicks?
