We decided to stop in because we heard they have tonies box to rent out. The second floor on the right side is a massive children's area. They have tables and chairs. They have a lot of little toy areas that they can play with. They have an imaginary play puppet area too. When you check out, they have a self checkout where you can scann the card and then the items. They have bags to check out too for carrying the books in. You can print a receipt which will tell you when items are due back. I also took a photo just in case. The desks have people working there that are super helpful. They answered so many questions. My husband went to the other side up top and looked at some books while the kids were playing. They also have activities and storytime classes that you can attend. You can check out the website for dates.

They also have a lot of activities and classes throughout the months for adults, teens, and children. Each activity lists the age requirements and a mini memo on what will occur during the session. Some require you to reserve a spot and most are walk-in. All events are free through the library, which is awesome. It's a great way to meet people in the community. Library cards are free as well. The only time you would have to pay is if you are overdue on a book, movie, etc. They do charge for that, but are understanding for those that are forgetful. Once, they took off the amount I owed because I was a day late and got my days mixed up.

Yes taxes out here are high both summer and winter since 1992, When I moved out here. Years ago the township office was small and located behind the fire station on 23 Mile off of Romeo Plank, therefore this huge building has come a long way and supplies many residents in Macomb Township, The building has two floors and the parking lot is in the back. When I enter the back door the layout is easy to find within view for the many departments. There are two departments on each side, Treasurer, Clerk, Assessing and Building. All the clerks are friendly, helpful and assist quickly for my visit. In the lobby there is our local newspaper, info about GFL waste services plus newsletters or updates on the township's board meetings, any township announcements or issues which are naturally all free. Next door is The Macomb Township Recreation Center which offers swimming, exercise areas and different health classes for a resident fee and also a non-resident fee. I really don't need a membership at that recreation building , Since I exercise at home and throughout my day and week + in the summer exercising by doing yard work then using my own back yard swimming pool.

I was recently selected to do my duty as a citizen - jury duty. Today was my day to serve…read more Things to remember as you arrive between 0815 and 0830 - enter only through the main entrance facing Main Street. You will be subject to 100% screening immediately upon entering the building - so leave weapons, mace, and any other questionable items behind - it's empty your pockets time, folks! Knowing that they have convenient metered parking in front of the courthouse, I learned once inside the jury room that you'd better feed those meters or be subject to a $10 fine. Paid parking is available next door in the parking structure. Free parking is also available in the city lot on North River Road, with convenient free shuttle service to the courthouse provided. I indeed parked on the street, but I was able to avoid any consideration of monetary notions, as I parked on the other side of the river where there are no meters at all. OK, truth be told, I parked in front of my house the night before, and walked the whole way - 3 blocks in all, uphill, no hitch-hiking. The jury room is on the 5th floor and they have 4 elevators to accommodate lazy Americans (yes, I took the elevator). Once inside the jury room, a quick check in with the clerk. Then select a seat in the large waiting room, or you might sit at a table toward the back reserved for quiet reading, knitting, puzzles and the like. Electrical outlets are sparsely located around the room for those who need to be tethered to technology. Speaking of technology, free wifi is available in the jury room and each of the court rooms. Laptops, tablets and smartphones were all in use as I looked around the room. The room was comfortable for my stay, although the sun was shining in the windows and warmed up the area around them. Seating was adequate, the floor was carpeted. Pleasant decor all around. Books can be ordered ahead of time online and delivered via the Michigan library system. Magazines are also available for reading. Sodas and snacks are located in vending machines near the restroom facilities in the back. One of the judges of the court stepped in to make a presentation about jury duty and how it works. I won't mention any names, because I am impartial when it comes to politics, but the judge did a good job of explaining everything. On a side note: kudos to Mrs. Switalski for giving birth to a baby boy 44 years ago! So how does this all work? How did I get selected for jury duty? Contrary to suspicions of the past, potential jurors are randomly selected from a list provided by the Michigan Secretary of State, the list compiled from a mix of persons holding driver's licenses and state issued IDs. I wasn't selected to sit in on a jury today. Now before you go pointing fingers and wondering why, I will tell you that nobody was selected today. It's just the luck of the draw. The bad part - I have to wait up to 3 weeks to get paid. With mileage added in, it will come in time to help my Christmas shopping - a hefty $12.50 for the half-day of service. An informative webpage was developed to answer any questions about jury duty. It can be found at: http://www.macombcountymi.gov/clerksoffice/juryroom/index.htm#directions

In my case, I didn't get picked, so I basically sat there most of the day playing games on my phone and listening to the prior night's podcast to kill the time. As far as facilities go, decent enough. Coffee shop, cafeteria, the meters use Parkmobile (which is always a bonus in my view), and the security folks have a decent enough sense of humor when dealing with people stumbling and bumbling through the doors for whatever reason. The prep video they show you as you're sitting in the main jury room was done in the late 70s or early 80s, and, honestly, they could just ask "Have you seen at least three episodes of the original Law & Order? You have? Good, you're done then." and be done with it.
