I was living in Troy previously, which has a decent library, and I used to work at the WB library a while back, so I'm a bit of a library "snob," to preface this review. The Blair/Clawson library is small but nice. The hours are a bit crazy (they're only open certain days, and I believe in the summer they're actually closed the entire weekend) but they're open Saturdays, which is fine for me. I've been here two or three times now and each time, service was fast (picking up a book on hold, and checking it out). The library is small but it seems to have a decent collection of books. I did see DVDs were $1 per week, I believe, so I'll stick to my own collection + Netflix for that. Overall, cute little library. I appreciate the easy parking situation, as well (they have their own lot).

I tried studying here a few years ago, with no luck, because of a strange combination of excessive quietude and hyperactive children. I do, however, come here a few times a year for the Friends of the Library's used book sales. These occur on the first Saturday of the month throughout the fall, winter, and spring. They've done a good job recently getting the books organized, whereas before it was a little disorienting. There are tons and tons and tons of discarded James Patterson and John Grisham, but I usually can find things more my taste. Paperback books are 25 cents, and Hardcover books are $1. The volunteers who run the sale are usually pretty nice, and sometimes quite adorable.

Whenever we come here, we always end up taking home at least 3 books. Like was mentioned before, there is also a great friend's sale every month that is worth checking. This library is small, but powerful!

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.

I combined the trip with a couple of errands for gas, etc that I could take care of on the way. GPS found got me to the library in plenty of time. It was tucked away in a grouping of other township offices, police, courthouse, etc. but once within the complex I just followed the signs and it was easy to find. I parked in the decent sized lot and walked inside and up to the counter to ask for the room or location of the presentation. They were very helpful and pointed out where I needed to go for the meeting. The meeting room itself was set up with chairs for 30-40 people; I think there were about a dozen attendees. The room was enclosed and the Audio and Video equipment worked well for the speaker's slideshow.

Reviews I visit the…read morelibrary frequently, and have previously given them a good review for the service side of the house. Today's review is regarding the IT side of the house, and inability/refusal to respond to security incidents*. On 2/16/23, while using library services it was discovered access to files from other users, files not from my session were available to me. Timestamps indicated they were from 2/13 & 2/14, a couple of days prior. Files included receipts from ride services, and tax data for at least one user. This was brought to the attention of the resident IT person "Andrew"(IT) and Reference Desk staff. ​IT accepted the feedback on the discovered misconfiguration and made some dismissals regarding open support tickets with vendors. Those would not address the topic raised on 2/16. IT was offered a temp fix to implement until such time as a more permanent solution could be designed and implemented for the library patrons Any solution would need to isolate user sessions TO THE USER, with zero ability for one user to access any other users data. On 2/18/23 similar file/data leak behaviors were discovered, tested, and communicated to the reference desk personnel after the front desk refused to hear the reports. Reference Desk personnel attempted to dismiss these reports as insignificant due to "no one else saying anything", and "feeling that IT has kept the library 'safe'". Additionally discovered on or about 2/18/23 was a local school student account being logged into windows mail since roughly 08/2022. A request for a form to write up and report the findings to IT directly was not available, indicating reference desk would need to "email IT about the issue". It should be noted that if non-technical staff dismiss technical issues, the communication would not occur. If non-technical staff dismiss reported information Security Incidents, the report to IT would not occur. Additionally, filtering incidents like this through unqualified staff may reasonably result in further Information Security incidents and possibly lawsuits, should no corrective actions be taken and any exploitation were to occur. An offer to write up the vulnerability report, and to perform a full vulnerability assessment were given to Reference Desk personnel, both were dismissed. It was indicated that the person making the report is the problem, not any perceived or actual security incidents. It should be noted we learn to "see something, say something, do something" regarding work-related safety violations. We also learn "If you see something Say something"** regarding suspicious and/or criminal activities to local law enforcement. The Library report process seems to disregard best practices in favor of feelings. it was observed yelp, a public business/service review website, was blocked ON library computers. That block would not prevent a public review where a private report was handled inappropriately. Library personnel were informed of this report prior to posting, and scoffed at the notion. *Information Security Incident reports are essential for receiving, processing, and resolving various technical issues as they are uncovered. Misconfigurations and staff fatigue may be understandable. Refusal to take reports is not. https://www.embroker.com/blog/top-10-cybersecurity-threats-2022/ **OSHA, DHS, and IT Security Compliance advocate reporting safety, security, suspicious activity concerns IMMEDIATELY/ASAP. https://www.metacompliance.com/blog/cyber-security-awareness/incident-reporting-and-why-you-need-it
