I like the numerous reading nooks by windows with charging stations. My favorite area is the…read moreperiodical reading room. It has plenty of natural light, lots of magazines, and every major local and national newspaper, along with comfortable chairs and a fireplace. I haven't used the study rooms, but I may reserve space someday for a quiet place to work. In my opinion, the parking lot is somewhat small and located a bit too far from the library entrance. It could be an accessibility issue for those who have problems walking, especially in the wintertime. Overall, I have no complaints. It's a good neighborhood library.

Stopped here with mom to grab a couple books for her…read more The building and inside looks so much nicer since they renovated and expanded it. One of the things I forgot about and miss about Grosse Pointe, were there great library systems here. My mother has been reading a lot of books from all of the library systems in the GP area for several decades.

I have been wanting to come to Flyleaf for some time and this Sunday afternoon I had some time to…read morekill. Little did I know that Flyleaf Literature & Libations would be firing on all cylinders. It was a packed house on both floors including a private party in their meeting room on the second floor. One of the workers was kind enough to give me and my Yelp BFF the lay of the land. He shared that Flyleaf was hosting a Boy Band event with great music playing and lots of patrons taking advantage of their Sunday Brunch offerings. It was very festive and standing room only at the moment. They host various theme events every month. Although I have included the menu, their food offerings change too. They had a great book selection. I was impressed that they had four books featured that I recently purchased. I look forward to returning to kick back with a book on their patio with a pastry or two.

Such a unique and amazing place. Heard about Flyleaf several months ago and was finally able to…read moremake a trip over. Took my girlfriend who loves reading and bookstores. She was impressed. We ordered the Devils Eggs and Chefs Board. Both were great and had such great flavors. Jake, our server, was knowledgable and entertaining. Such a great asset to the overall experience. Will have to come back during the summer to check out the rooftop!

A historical home that is maintained and cared for by a very kind group of women. They open to the…read morepublic every second Saturday of the month and may open more frequently than that - you can check their schedule posted on their website. The women will welcome and offer you a tour of the home or you can simply shop in their second hand vintage "store" in a dedicated room. They sell items both old and a couple new. The items are fairly priced but I still ended up passing on a beautiful gravy boat with a tray and I will regret it forever haha. They very welcoming to littles and offered a cookie after our permission. Just such a thoughtful gesture. They also have a restroom in case needed. In the back of the house there's a cabin from the late 1800's with a tombstone. The energy was really great so that's always nice. Definitely worth visit, even if you just have a few minutes. The house itself is very unique and beautiful. They are donation based but are not pushy whatsoever.

Historically, I would recommend this library. However, today I requested a study room. I lived in…read moreGP for 26 years and am back visiting my parents. No one was using the study rooms at the time. The librarian said they were only available if you had a library card. I explained my situation and she LAUGHED AT ME. I said I'd be happy to leave the room if a library card holder wanted the room and she LAUGHED AT ME. Then she ignored me. This is terrible customer service and blatant rudeness. Someday I'll be moving back and this library will never get funding from me.

This place was awesome. I had never visited before, but my husband and I took a tour today of the…read moremain house. Tours are $20 and you're welcome to walk the grounds after, plus stop by the Playhouse (tiny house that was for the Ford's 7-year-old granddaughter) and the garage, where five antique vehicles are housed. The tour lasts an hour, our tour guide was Dan and he was great. My husband works for Ford so I thought he'd find the tour interesting, too. There's another tour, called Nooks and Crannies, that dives deeper into the house and it's history, and I'd like to take that one next. The grounds themselves are beautiful and there is a lot to see, including the displays in the Visitors Center, Bird Island, and the places I mentioned above. The Visitors Center also has a gift shop. I've heard they do concerts here in the summer, and I saw on Instagram that they will have a butterfly house, too, so I'll have to come back another time for that. Overall, I really enjoyed Ford House and hope to come back for the other tour at some point too.

Did you know they have a wonderful restaurant on site? Did you know they have bird walks twice a year, in the spring and in the fall? Did you know they have a wonderful gift shop (and members save 20%) That's just a few reasons why we love this place! It's a go to for out of town guests. They are constantly changing up the house tours so it never gets old. If you have never visited give it a try, you will love it!

Free books to take and enjoy. Bring a book if you have one you've already read. It's all about literacy and it's free. This library is a faded paint with a wooden roof. A single door with a clear panel and inside is a single shelf of books. A variety of nearly all paperbacks that are surprisingly not all religious books considering the location. Awesome. This is charter number 47999 and there is no steward or caption listed only other than "Henry." [Review 17972 overall - 365 in Michigan - 1493 of 2022.]
