    snack and coffee machines on first floor
    Kelly S.

    I'm 56 so I remember when they used to roll the library bus or as we called it the book-mobile, around the subdivisions so anyone could check out a book and return it a week or two later. Since a child I have loved to read so I would eagerly await for the book-mobile to arrive. By the time I was a young teen the book-mobile became stationary where the Sterling Hts. library is now. It was a large trailer that housed books. I used to ride my bike about 3 miles so I could go to the trailer and check out books there...yes, I am a bit of a nerd. About a year after the trailer became into existence the permanent Sterling Heights Public Library was opened to the public. It is a wonderful library with two stories and everything you could ask for in a top-notch public library. It has been many years since the library has opened and yet it still seems new! The staff and the upkeep of the facility is excellent. They have a wonderful store where you can purchase used books, magazines, dvd's and cd's for pennies on the dollar. I like the snack and coffee machines where I can get something to drink or eat if I feel like it. They have a large section set aside just for children where there are activities constantly being put on just for children to participate in. There is a community room where you can play games or put on a presentation. Both the upper and lower floors have plenty of space to read and work quietly. Hat's off to all those involved in keeping this a true Sterling Heights city gem!

    This library doesn't really say much about the city of Warren, Michigan...it's bland looking inside…read moreand one of the personnel at the front desk seemed ...grumpy. 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.

She was very friendly and patient as she took care of my situation. This is a really lovely library with lots of natural light and spaces to lounge. I especially like that the Warren Public Library Civic Center Branch offers a ring-tag card I can keep on my key chain so I always have it for those impromptu stop-ins!

    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!
