What a beautiful library! This is one of the first places were explored when our family moved to…read morethe area last year, and we were so pleasantly surprised. The children & young adult sections include many of the newer releases that my kids want to read, and still has a nice selection of the more classic types of books. Although the staff seem quite serious, they're extremely helpful and kind. The movie, game & TV series on DVD selection is fun, too. Most are free with the exception of brand new releases and some games. The entire back of the library has giant, vaulted windows that open to a beautiful forrest area. A stone fireplace adds beauty, warmth and charm, too. Chairs, couches & small desks line up all along those windows (and near the fireplace), so there are many comfy places to study, read and relax. I've also been pleasantly surprised by the amount of Christian fiction they offer. Although I don't enjoy ALL the authors in that genre', I have happily found several that I do enjoy. And when I only have a few minutes to select a book, the stickers on the outside of the books make it easy to identify the genre' by simply glancing down a shelf. The basement holds a used book store where we've found some great books & magazines to take on vacation (when we didn't want to risk taking a library book out of town). The prices are very reasonable. Hours are limited. We're so grateful to have such a lovely place to study and find great resources.

A part of my soul remains forever trapped inside this building. This place and the Engineering…read moreBuilding were my 2nd and 3rd homes while at MSU. The MSU main library has everything you need for research and study. It contains the vast majority of the University's library collection. It also has tons of study locations from loud to quiet, comfy or torturous. The Sparty's cafe stays open late, and open 24 hours during finals. The computers here stink. MSU computers take FOREVER to log in. I have no idea why. There always seems to be a large amount that are not functioning properly. Compared to those available for Engineering students in the Engineering Building, they're flat out awful. The place is over 50 years old and it's really starting to show in some areas. Regardless, they keep it in pretty good shape and it serves its purpose well. As with all university libraries, they need to keep transitioning from being a place for research to a place to study. Hardly anyone goes to the library anymore to search for a book they need. The stacks should be condensed to free up more space for study nooks. They also need to put more electrical outlets in to account for the fact that everyone has a computer now. Piece of advice: Bring a power strip and extension cord with you if the Library is busy. This way you can make a table far from an outlet work and make an outlet that someone else was already using help out multiple people.

Children are noisy and run freely through the quiet study area. Addtionally, you can hear all of…read morethe kids from the children's area too due to the layout. Further, the librarians themselves don't seem to follow the quiet rules. One was chatting loudly in a study room with the door open that was attached to the quiet area. Do not come here if you prefer a quiet library- try Okemos instead. I left before I finished my work because it was so bothersome.

This location itself does not have much of anything, but they can get things from other locations of library network. New release movies take a while to get them. Once you reserve it, you don't lose your place in queue. They email pickup notice. Copy is 15 cents per page. Coin operated. Scanner is available. You have to rent one from info desk and hook it up on computers within library. Small scanner, so you have to scan one page each time. Plenty of parking. People working there are very friendly and courteous. They are some dubious grown-ups playing games at computer station all day long. I never had anyone bothering me. So, no problem. There is a uniformed security guard on duty.

I just love the Holt library! It has a MASSIVE selection of books, the librarians are always…read morehelpful and friendly, and there are plenty of activities. I'm particularly fond of the CADL website, where you can choose a book, put it on hold and then have it sent to the library of your choice and pick it up when it's in. Awesome! My one complaint is that the children's room is not particularly large, and it often gets VERY crowded during story times. A door would be nice, too, as it's not unusual for kids (okay, MY kids) to try to wander out into the main library.

The building itself is absolutely beautiful, with incredible architecture, historic details, and a stunning dome that really stands out the moment you walk in. You can tell a lot of care has gone into preserving the history of the building. The inside is just as impressive as the outside. The marble floors, decorative ceilings, and historic chambers give you a real sense of Michigan's history and government. Walking through the halls and seeing where important decisions are made was both interesting and inspiring. The atmosphere was welcoming and educational. Staff and guides were friendly and helpful, and the self-guided areas made it easy to explore at your own pace. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or just looking for something unique to do in Lansing, the Michigan State Capitol is definitely worth the visit.

I can't believe my sister has lived in Okemos for so long and never took me here before. If you want a glimpse as to what 19th century life was like in the Lansing area, then you need to come here and explore. It's open for tours by appointment only on Saturdays, but you can walk the grounds any day of the week. Here is a sampling of what you'll find: A Greek Revival-style farmhouse built between 1862-5. They know this because as historians were removing wallpaper they discovered newspapers that were used as insulation dated from those years. The farmhouse was relocated here from Marsh Road. Randall School, a one-room rural schoolhouse relocated from near Fowlerville. It cost $853.15 to build in 1883 and served 1st-8th graders. The Barnes House (1849), was the first frame house built in Okemos not using logs. The general store, and the log cabin from Haslett are both cool as well. My favorite thing to see though was the Tollgate House and the parts of the original wood planks from the toll road which travelers from Detroit took to get to the State Capitol in Lansing. A penny to cross is pretty damn cheap compared to the toll roads we drive these days! If you are in the area this is a great piece of Michigan history you don't want to pass by.
