Today, they were playing on a climbing area with green mossy "hills" and were having a great time. The librarian came over and loudly admonished my 7 year old granddaughter that "you have to be under 4 feel tall to play here." I didn't see the sign or I wouldn't have put her in that situation...but I wish the librarian had come to me instead of sternly marching up to the child. It's not even like there were any other small children there...just the 4 of us. I get it that they have rules, but my granddaughter was embarrassed; they were visiting from out of town and she said she didn't want to come back there. Margaret S., Livonia

Oh wow, a new library? How revolutionary. Because clearly…read morethe issue here isn't crumbling ceilings, outdated tech, or zero atmosphere -- it's that the whole building just isn't shiny enough, right? Maybe try maintaining what you have before dreaming up some architectural masterpiece. Even next door has figured out how to sweep the floor and not smell like a damp basement. Bravo, Livonia -- truly aiming for the stars while tripping over your own shoelaces.

I went back today to work remotely, as I was already in the area for something else. The nostalgia! While things look updated and newer since my days, it still have pretty much the same layout as I remembered. It ended up being a really nice place to work remotely for the day. There's plenty of open seating with outlets. There are also a number of quiet individual booths (for phone calls/meetings) as well as group rooms. There's also a dedicated silent study room for extra quiet and focus. Vending machines with food and drink in the front, and of course, the library is adjacent to Heritage Park which is nice. Also, the children's section is large and adorable. The different sized doorways leading into it is exactly the same as when I was a kid decades ago :').

I also utilized their home office supplies table (stapler, scissors, pencil sharpener, etc.) and their copy machine. There was plenty of parking during our visit on Friday afternoon in August.

This review is mostly only for the activity room near the kids section in the back - my friend had…read morea birthday party this weekend and rented out the room for part of it. The room was very large and the doors were mostly soundproof, which was good because we had a lot of little kids attending the party too, LOL (who were a bit loud). I did use the family bathroom next door to it, at one point - it's very cute, with a tiny toilet for kids and a regular-sized one for adults. Unfortunately it did smell pretty badly, which is why this reviews is a 4-star one and not 5-star. The layout of the library reminded me a bit of the WB library (main branch, on Walnut Lake Rd) and it's a very large building. Overall it looked very nice.

The librarians are incredibly informative and genuinely friendly--they're always ready to help whether you're tracking down a book, using the computers, or just looking for a quiet spot to work. One of my favorite parts? The café inside! The drinks and snacks are great, and best of all--the proceeds go to support Novi schools. It feels good to grab a coffee knowing you're helping the local education system. There are also plenty of study areas, meeting rooms, and a great children's section that makes it easy to bring little ones along. Whether you're here to study, relax, or explore, the Novi Public Library makes it easy to feel right at home. Highly recommend stopping by--even if you're not a "library person," this one might just change your mind.

I had a Clawson…read morelibrary book to return, but very limited time this week, and a Clawson librarian told me that Novi, Franklin, and I believe a few other libraries are reciprocal to Clawson - meaning, you can return Clawson materials there, and also take out materials. I had never been here before and so I stopped by today. I went inside to make sure I could return my Clawson book there and the librarian told me all about this library. I also checked out two books because I can return it at Clawson if needed. It's a very small library but very cute - the bookmark with some facts, that the librarian gave me, said the building (house?) was gifted to the library in 1929. Super nice librarians too, and it seems like they do book clubs and other events there too, they were setting up for something tonight actually.
