This is a smaller library than the Woods branch but it's comfortable and has a lot of areas to…read morelounge. I like that the coffee tables have outlets. There is a silent room with two computers and a fireplace. It's too bad there isn't enough space for a dedicated computer room where people can talk. Unfortunately, the library is too small to have areas where patrons can talk on the phone or on a virtual call. I prefer libraries with nooks and crannies for privacy and more private study rooms. Overall, a small but attractive library for reading and studying.

This is on the corner of Fisher and Kercheval in GPF. It's a pretty basic and no frills library…read more I spent a lot of hours here, heads down, looking for reference books during highschool and college too. If they didn't have a book, they would request from other local libraries for the book I was looking for. I would come here with mom since I was a kid for her reading needs as well. I was with my mom recently to borrow a bolt cutter of ally random things. I would have never guessed they would let you borrow such tools. There are bigger and nicer libraries in GP, but this one was the closest to our house in HS and my mom just preferred it over the others. I don't go very often anymore, but my mother still frequents it every few weeks for a new read.

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.

This location is the Chandler Park Branch of the Detroit Public Library. On Harper just north of…read moreConnor on the east side of the city, we are definitely not dealing with the best neighborhood. But parking was available on the street directly in front of the door, which was nice. I am used to using the main branch in midtown for my library needs, and that place is huge. All of the other branches are tiny in comparison, and Chandler Park is particularly small. Being a hot summer day, the place was full of neighbood folks (a mix of kids, adults, and elderly) hanging out, taking advantage of the free internet, and keeping cool. Any patrons not using the computers, were reading magazines or searching the DVD selection. The woman at the circulation desk was basically useless, directing me to incorrect areas of the library twice before just admitting she didn't know where adult nonfiction was (whaaaat) and sending me to the main librarian, who, on the other hand, was very knowledable and helpful. A friendly security guard hangs out to keep tabs on everything, as is the case at all of the Detroit library branches. Although the building is noticably old and not in the best condition, the Chandler Park Branch came through for me on a few books that the massive main branch did not have. It was good to see the library full of patrons, even if most of them were just there to mooch free internet and AC ( which, let's be real - is what most libraries are used for these days, be they in the city of suburbs).

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.

It is hard to miss, with one red box (the library) and one blue box (a LIttle Free Pantry) in front of a store. The pantry didn't have much in it (this isn't a great neighborhood) but the library was full. Two shelves, stuffed with mostly children's books. Nothing that caught my eye today. This is charter number 19313 and the steward has their contact information in the database. The only caption reads, "We live in a tiny suburb just outside of Detroit. We started this as a project in our neighborhood to see if we got enough interest to build others around Detroit's East Side." [Review 17964 overall - 360 in Michigan - 1485 of 2022.]
