The Flint Public Library is one of my favorite gems in the Flint community. Everyone should stop…read moreby, visit and pick up a free library card too! Even if you aren't local, it's a cozy and modern place with comfortable seating, several private rooms and an uplifting environment. I love studying here and like to switch up the room or seating area I choose to study at just for a change of pace. They have private rooms and comfortable seating both on the main floor and upstairs level as well as handicap accessible bathrooms and water dispensers on both the floors too. They also have a few outdoor seating spots for outdoor studying too. The few times I interacted with the staff have always been positive experiences, as they are friendly and quick to greet. I really appreciate how this library has a children's learning center too, that you can see on your right hand side as soon as you pass the main entrance. Side note, I have had no issues with the WiFi not working either--important! So if you're looking for a cozy place to study, or have a meeting, or just relax that has plenty of sunlight and open window access, then definitely visit the Flint Public Library!

Good books and movie selection, including kids movies. I just attended a fun event building…read moreshelters for animals that are homeless. I'm going to put mine in the backyard. They have great events for kids and adult programs, too. I went to a cooking demo here last year and it was packed. I learned so much. I think the staff is great. They treat my kids so well and did not get upset my autistic child threw a tantrum. I got some great new movies to watch for the week last night and they allow you to rent a ton without putting them on a hold.

Cute little local library…read more The people that work here are nice and friendly. If you need something, they will help you locate it. It's a small library, but they have a nice fiction department and tons of DVDs and CDs. The selection of non-fiction isn't as good, but it's getting better. I used to come here a lot when I lived in the area. Now, I stop in from time to time if I'm in Clio. The staff is very helpful when it comes to looking up ancestry information online through Ancestry.com. They're open five days a week. The library could use a few updates, that's all. They have free WiFi and lots of computers for those needing access. If you have kids, they offer children's programs throughout the year, like live animals, story hour and magic shows.

This is University of Michigan-Flint's student bookstore, aka the UM-Flint B &N, located in the…read moreUniversity Pavilion in downtown Flint. As student bookstores go, it's pretty well run and fairly well-organized. This student-run store is conveniently located to campus, near plenty of dining options both in and off campus, as well as residence housing, classrooms, administration offices, the recreation center, university library, parking, and more. The pavilion houses a typical food court area, plus there are numerous restaurants and bars across the street. As for parking, there is a flat lot across the street, an adjacent parking garage and ample spaces to park up and down Saginaw Street, as well as campus parking lots designated for students and staff only. Prices can be downright sky high for pretty much anything and everything, from textbooks to supplies, but who are we kidding? This is the campus/student bookstore, so it's not like you're going to a regular bookstore. Prices on everything are jacked because it's a student bookstore and everyone knows that going in. The best bet is to pick up as many used textbooks as you can for your classes and just suck it up. Textbooks and assorted supplies, like notebooks, journals, blue book essays, etc cost almost as much as tuition. As for book buy-back rates? As with every other student bookstore out there, it sucks, but depending on who is working, you might be able to finagle a better deal than you would otherwise, but always be prepared to get something like $8-$12 back for a brand-new philosophy or history textbook that cost you $170 and was barely cracked open all semester. Sigh, it's the nature of the beast.

This library has not really changed since 2021-2022 in my opinion. For context, I was living in…read moreGrand Blanc until 2023 when I moved away. I have not visited that library again since somewhere around 2021-2022 because I really did not have any reason to. [Fast forward to this month]. I came back for a couple of days and stayed at a friend's house. They invited me to go to the library and I agreed. When I went there, they looked the same from 5 years ago. Same pleasing aesthetic, same kids desktop, same everything. If you guys could please reply to me and tell me what has been changed, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Libraries must not be quiet anymore…read more I was having some work done on my home and so I decided to stop here since I wouldn't have power for a while. I stopped in, spoke to the librarian and obtained a card. I asked him how to get to a desk that was upstairs and he told me. He also told me that there is another area that I could go to if I wanted a more quit area to work from, and I told him I was ok. But boy oh boy. It was really loud. Phones ringing and people talking on the phone in there. I honestly thought that I was being punked. I will go to another location next time.

I love libraries and this one reminded me how much I miss visiting them. What is better than a…read morelibrary? A CASTLE library! Beautiful inside and out, this library makes it easy for your imagination to soar. The staff was so gracious. They are probably used to visitors being amazed by the library. Watching two extremely excited grown adults trying not to run, point and exclaim over is probably normal. (We managed to keep quiet: it's a library!) Please, PLEASE treat yourself and any children you know to this amazing place of learning and imagination!

Excellent library with friendly, helpful staff…read more Although it seems small compared to some libraries that I have visited, the selection is very good. If the book you want isn't there, you can always look in the database online and request it; they email you when it arrives! It is easy to spend hours in here as there are comfy chairs and huge windows that open up to (what I assume is) Whiting Forest in the back. During autumn, it is very picturesque. For a chat you can go to the cafeteria-looking area but if you need silence there is thankfully a quiet room. And of course thank glob for free wifi. Checking out is very fast since all you have to do is put the books on the pad and scan your library card. You can even save paper and stay organized by having the receipt emailed to you. No more losing receipts and forgetting due dates! If you can't figure it out, the staff will be happy to help you without making you feel like a doofus. You can also put a hold on a book from another cooperating library in the area, which they will send here for a small fee of $0.25. The only thing I can complain about is their slim graphic novel section and the prices of renting DVDs. Older movies are $1.25 each and you can keep them for a week, but newer movies are $2.50 and you can only have them for four days. Although the selection was good you may be better off at Family Video, honestly. However, if I do find a library with a lot of graphic novels and free DVD rental, it is unexpected and a really nice surprise.

The children's section on the bottom floor is great! They have a play area, eight computers, a plenty of places to relax and read. The selection is great as well!

I love when a library stays current! Keep up the awesome work!!!
