    My wife and I are very lucky to be close to this beautiful library! It is such a welcoming…read moreenvironment and there are plenty of books and computers available around the building. There's also a little exhibit for Clarkston's history, and there seems to be plenty of community events that happen here. There's a cute little reading nook for toddlers, and a room for teen literature as well. We are looking to start a family soon, and this library will be a great place to take our little one for sure!

    First, I want to say I just discovered this little library in my new hometown and was so pleased to…read morefind a cozy living room quiet area in which to read and do work. Lovely lamps, overstuffed chairs, couches - the only thing missing was a fireplace. :) Then.... After I got my computer/etc. settled (near the table that has a "Quiet Room" placard on it, which made me happy because I get distracted easily), I discovered the ladies who work at the information desk (just 20 feet from this area) are non-stop talkers! Now, I completely understand the need for an information area to ask questions, and talk daily tasks, etc., BUT they never stopped chatting. (I see a Seinfeld episode brewing here!) I tried to ignore it, turning my headphones up, but I continued to hear the one talking to customers on the phone (and not using her quiet voice). I waited and tried to talk to her nicely, but she did not get off the phone and I had to go. I did mention my dismay to one of the nice ladies and the book check-out desk. I cannot understand for the life of me, WHY they would put and INFORMATION desk, where people talk, just 20 feet from a quiet reading area????? This makes absolutely no sense to me, and it made me angry! And yes, I did check out the "quiet study rooms", but they were all taken. This library needs to move the information desk (which is right in the middle of the library) to another part of the Library, and also strategically put up some soft partitions, maybe. Just an idea. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent my frustrations.

    Feel like getting away from it all but don't have the time, money to go far away, then step right…read moreinto the Oxford Public Library! This place is gorgeous with a super relaxing vibe. As we drove up I noticed a playground next to the library...how very convenient. You can take your young ones to play and afterwards they can check out the aquarium and explore all the fascinating reads that are inside the library. When I entered the building I was overcome with joy in seeing the huge, clear aquarium; so beautiful! There is a mighty, huge blue fish in the tank. I must admit, I felt bad for such a big fish being in a small tank but it sure was a wonder to admire him. There is a section up front where you can purchase used books and puzzles. Further to the right is the children's area full of fun items to explore. The main area is so pretty, I felt like I might have wandered into a ski lodge with the fireplace going and floor to ceiling windows displaying Michigan winter glory. There is a pretty courtyard for viewing. There is a resource room for using printers and computers. The employees were knowledgeable and friendly.

    I have been going to this library for over 10 years, and I can't say I've ever had an issue that…read morewould make me not support them anymore. Being as I don't live in Oxford but had a student at the High School, I knew I wanted to belong to this library. For me, there is a limit on how much I can take out at one time, but that's ok. I still have full access to everything they provide. Back when my daughter was in school, she participated in a lot of the young adult things they had going on, even volunteered during the summer to help with programs. I've always thought the crafts idea was great-they have them for all ages and in more recent years, my step-son has been enjoying the crafts. He also has used the play area where they have puzzles, kid computers, puppets, books, etc. I haven't been able to get him to any fun events-but there seems to have been some good ones.... We mostly over the past year have been checking out books, movies, even music. Of course last year, 2020 was a tough year and everyone had to learn how to do business in a new way, updated ways, or completely different. But libraries seem to have held strong and I certainly appreciate them! They have a summer reading program I try to be a part of where you can win prizes. I've been able to set goals for myself with this as a tool to get some reading done! I THINK they may have a winter program-but have to check on that one.... This year I've been taking advantage of the adult section of the library-it's huge! Lots of books, new book section easy to find, an area with computers-some nooks of quiet spots where you can bring your own computer and work quietly. Lots of sitting areas, some by the big fireplace that gets lit in the afternoons during winter. And-huge windows along the back looking out over the trail & new playground Oxford put up this summer. I have enjoyed spending hours here this fall as I have 2 people working remotely from home and it's a nice break for me. I can get on my computer in silence or read a book! Last thing I want to mention is you must wear a mask when going inside. They do have signs up for that. If you don't have one, they usually have some right when you walk in.
