    Rhyme time live ! Our daughter at 15 months LOVING every minute of it
    Lexie V.

    We love this library for our baby girl! There are so many toys, felt stickies, magnets, books, and other activities to keep your little one busy! They have classes, like the Rhyme Time Live we attend (you can register online for free) there is music, dancing with your little one, and stories. They use props like instruments for each kid or scarves that really get the kids involved and excited . And the best part is afterward it's a free play with all the toys kept in the classroom. The doors are shut too so you do get a chance to socialize with other parents knowing your kid cannot go out of your eyesight. They do free play on mondays in this same classroom too where the kids can play with these other special toys but there isn't music or dancing organized. It's another great way to have your child learn about socializing and sharing while you as the parent can have fun too!

    I was in the area waiting for a meeting to start in the evening and stopped on to do some work. They were having the carpet redone so it smelled of chemicals. I went to the librarians desk and asked if they had quiet study rooms, she informed me that they do not and instructed me and my friend that we could study and have a conversation at the round white tables around the corner. The chairs were comfortable but the tables are very small. We did a bit of work and moved inside to check out the library. My friend wanted to check out magazines so we sat in the magazine section. This is not a good place to sit if you want to read anything important. It's very noisy. You can hear noise from the librarians, other people and an echo coming from downstairs of the people talking down there. They have zone markers for noise and it's what's called a courteous study area which is moderate noise. Other than that the library is nice, well stocked and the staff is friendly.

    TPL has a wide selection of books, so you'll most likely find what you need here. Plus, they also have a cool selection of DVDS, comics, and video games. Service: The librarians are very helpful and kind. TPL also has plenty of free programs, such as film screenings, family crafting, and how-to classes. Interior: When I step in, I can't help to feel like the library is a bit outdated. Meh. Studying area: Good amount of seats with decently comfortable chairs. They don't have study rooms but rather a designated "quiet study area" with cubicle-like desks. People are generally pretty quiet but you'll want to bring your headphones. There is also a group study room in the main entrance. Parking: Plenty of space to park.

    This is a solid library in metro-Detroit. One of the best I'd say. First of all, I must commend the diversity. About half of the folks here are well-to-do suburban ethnic minorities, such as Indians, East-Asians, Middle Easterners, African Americans, etc. Troy library also serves much of the nearby Troy High students as well as Troy Athens students - being some of the best public high schools in the area - the library is accordingly equipped. Secondly, I must applaud the sheer size and amenities of this institution. There is Wi-Fi all over the establishment, there is a huge children's area if you have kids, a "friends used bookstore," a gift shop, a cafe you can get coffee and snacks at and talk louder in, and a huge elaborate adult section with its own computer lab and media library. The adult section has a lot of comfy quiet seating, tables/chairs, and study pods for students to study. Also the selection of movies at this library would rival that of a mom & pop movie rental store. There are several hundreds of movies - including even movies in international languages. I even found a handful of movies in Malayalam - my native tongue which most Americans haven't even heard of! The selection of music, domestic, and international magazines (all up to date) would rival Barnes & Noble - and of course here there is no shame in just reading stuff for free! This library has a lot of friendly staff and the patrons are all so warm. It's near the corporate corridor of Troy - so very close to the police station and just a stone throw from I-75 and Somerset Mall. I live in Sterling Heights and come to this library since it's somewhat better than the Sterling Heights one - as it has more of a homey feel. My only wish is that libraries had longer hours - but of course that's just how most libraries are. Troy closes around 9pm most nights and possibly earlier on weekends. If you live within a 15-minute radius of this library, I highly recommend this library to you. There are probably many family, student, and child oriented features that I don't even know about at this place - you really have to visit and inquire to know for sure.

    A well-appointed, gorgeous public library. I entered on a Friday afternoon and found the library…read morebusy with teens studying, all ages browsing books and seniors filling several tables playing cards and board games in a rec. room that is right at the front entrance. I browsed the little bookstore and purchased a 1000 piece puzzle from Springbok and two cd's all for just $5.00. There is a children's room right at the front of the entrance. Also at the front of the entrance are a nice selection of mobility aids for those that need a little assistance getting around. The entrance itself is full of beautiful plants, trees and scenic decorations, making the entire vibe very welcoming. There is a computer room in the far back, a heft section of nothing but large print books. The front desk people were very knowledgeable and friendly.

She suggested the Bloomfield Township Public Library and admittedly, I was a bit hesitant at first. However, I was in need of somewhere quiet to connect to video calls and I didn't have much time, so I somewhat begrudgingly headed over. Wow - I was blown away by the beautiful space - both indoor and out. There are plenty of friendly staff members to help answer your questions, obviously tons of books, a large and colorful children's area, an outdoor area, a vending machine area, computer area, plenty of desks, and private rooms for members. I am not a resident or member, so I headed outside to a beautiful terrace and I'm now back for my second day working here because I loved it so much. I haven't looked too deeply, but there also appear to be programs for community members of all ages to partake in - from book clubs and writers groups to knitting groups, summer craft kits, language conversation groups, speed dating with a book, and so much more. I'm literally so impressed with everything this library has to offer. I will be back and this may inspire me to also visit my own library back home. Lesson learned: never question a suggestion from my mom ;)

This puts me in the mind of the Dr. Seuss book, Oh The Places You Will Go! The library has plenty of room and space for the whole family. Parents please note: You MUST keep your children with you at all times. You also can not drop your children off and leave them unattended for their safety.

They have an atrium where you can snack and be loud, but the inside has the expectation of quiet! They have a little "bookstore" at the very front, I assume for books they want to retire, and operate off the honor system! Everything is $3 or LESS! Lots of carts marked $1 or 2/$1. I think they may have reading classes or story hour for children in the mornings, I got here at 9:30 and heard what sounded like a teacher talking to parents about their kids! They have toy bags and activities for young kids, a fish tank, and a globe! It's overall a really comfy place to spend quiet time in the Word.

When we returned the next month she saw us and came CB over to tell us there was a new series coming next week she thought he'd love and will put it aside. She did. We did. He did!
