The people that work there are very friendly. There aren't many books here, but if you are a Clinton card holder, you can head into the Manchester library and use their resources as well. They also have some electronic options, which I feel is nice. Overall, this is a great little library and I'm sure that I haven't read all the books in there yet, so it'll keep me busy for the 5 months that I'm living in the area.

There is a charming statue of children (see my photos) near the front door. There are skylights that bring in a lot of light. The foyer has nice tables where teens often wait for their ride. (Again, see my photos.) The bulletin board in the foyer is a great way to find out about upcoming events. The Saline District Library has a great selection of books, a free book swap corner, a used book shop that also has CDs and movies, 2nd Saturday morning "fill a bag" book sales, and best of all, if they don't have it at SDL, you can borrow it from another library by going to Michigan Electronic Library (mel.org). Besides books, there are music CDs, movies, books on tape (or CD) and the ever-changing art exhibits in the display cases. Sometimes I'm only at the library to drop off a book or DVD but I check out the art displays whenever I have time to linger a little longer. I also dig the online resources such as Hoopla, Zinio and Freegal. Hoopla lets you access up to 12 items each month: movies, audio books and ebooks. It's nice to "read" a book while doing chores at home. Zinio allows you to read the latest issues of selected magazines online. And Freegal allows you to download up to five songs per week that you get to keep forever on your MP3 player. The reason I include this review in my "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!" Yelp list is because you can drop off used books in the lobby which are sorted and resold to help support the library. Also, I often tell myself, "Why should I own a particular book if I can borrow it from the library?" There are some that I access often enough or that are specialized enough that they're worth keeping at my house; for everything else there's the library. My gateway to knowledge! There is also a magazine drop box in the lobby. Leave a few, take a few. You never know what you'll find in there. Check out the calendar of SDL events, both available as printed brochures and on the library website. If you use Google Calendar, you can have the events automatically added to your view of the app on your phone or laptop. There are events for all ages. This library has a lot of stuff for kids, and all the children's books and movies are in one section, but I often watch the movies that are supposed to be for kids. Just watch out for scratched DVDs. Honestly, I don't know how they get so scratched (Do the kids breakdance on them?) but my husband buffs out the scratches so they are watchable again. Try the self check out when there's a line at the desk. Scan your library card and enter your pin. Then scan the items you're checking out. Read the instructions. Lay the item barcode-side-up on the bed, sliding it to match the arrows. Yes, it can read the barcodes upside down. Faster than waiting in line, unless you have a MelCat item to pick up, which must be done at the main desk. I must be one of their super-users because they all seem to know me by name. I feel like a celebrity when I'm there. We always have a great time visiting with each other. If you spend as much time there as I do, you'll appreciate the helpful and friendly staffers.

When I parked I knew this place would be a spot that we would be coming to, often. This library has so much to offer. Not only do they have an abundance of books, but they have learning rooms, adult events, children events, an amazing children's library section, a rooftop terrace to enjoy a book or a nice beverage, many classes, the list goes on and on. When we finally made our way to the children's section I was wowed by the aquariums, Dr Seuss room, large car like jungle gym and the staff. They had so much information to provide and hosted so many events. What an amazing library. The best I've ever been to by far.

The facilities are nice and they have a separate area for young adults that's apart from the kids which I always think is important. As far as online goes, they are part of the Ohio Digital Library so you get access to everything through Overdrive online, which is great. They seem to have quite a few activities going on all of the time like tutoring from BGSU students for reading for kids, seniors activities, story time for children, etc.

They also have miscellaneous cool stuff for checkout like board games, music instruments, even art. The website is easy to use in terms of reserving books. If you reserve a book and clear the wait list, they will pull it for you. I wish they had a method of deferring (eg if you clear the wait list when you're on vacation) so that you don't have to go back through the queue, but understand how this could be complicated. Their "shelf service" is amazing. You put in your reading preferences and they select a handful of books that fit. It's wild that this is something you can access for free. It's a nice physical space with plenty of bathrooms, reading areas, wifi, etc. I love this library and coming here makes me so grateful to live in AA

I can't believe that I came here for the first time last weekend, even though it's been 8 years…read moresince I was a student in Ann Arbor! Ann Arbor offers an abundance of things -- not just books -- and it's one of the most impressive libraries I've been to because of that! I came here last weekend because I heard they had an art exhibit for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month of a collection of artwork made by various Taiwanese artists. As a Taiwanese American, I knew I had to check this out immediately! And while I came to see this collection (and was so impressed by it!), I stayed for all the other things the library had to offer! I perused it's rows of artwork (including the Taiwanese artwork!) that you could check out and display in your household for 2 months on end! What a ingenious idea, I thought, as someone who is constantly switching out the artwork I have hung around my house depending on my mood haha! I also perused their aisles of equipment you can check out for every reason under the sun - starting a podcast? need some hardware? lighting? DJing? hosting a big party and want some giant chess? want to try a new instrument? The list goes on and on and the opportunities are endless! It's a shame that I am neither an Ann Arbor resident nor work in the city, so unfortunately I can't get a free library membership (and a paid one costs $150 a year!), and the librarian I spoke too also mentioned that the University of Michigan doesn't collaborate with the AA District Library either, so I'm not entirely sure if you're able to even get a membership here as a student, if you don't change your address to something in Ann Arbor, which is a bit of a bummer! But if you live or work in Ann Arbor, definitely don't sleep on the district library and make sure to take FULL advantage of all this place has to offer!
