It's close to my home...what a nice little gem for the city of Inkster..very clean inside,, of…read morecourse NO EATING is a plus...still smells brand new.

The Inkster Public Library continues to be a regional leader in library services to child, adults…read moreand seniors - everyone of all ages! The official and full name of the library is the 'Leanna Hicks Public Library'. If you are looking for a good book to read, seeking a new job or training, starting or continuing in a hobby or skill set - then the Inkster Public Library located at 2005 Inkster Road in beautiful Inkster, Michigan is the place for you. The Library Director is a leader in library science and has provided library programming for all ages to take advantage of resources, enjoy community involvement provide educational support. This library has access and offers instruction in securing that access to all the major Michigan Library tools available to library patrons. This includes MelCat. The MelCat service is funded by the Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) via the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library of Michigan, part of the Michigan Department of Education. Additional funding is provided by the State of Michigan. The MelCat service is one of the most powerful tools that Michiganders have in their pursuit of knowledge whether you are seeking entertainment, education or skill sets. The staff at the Leanna Hicks Public Library are engaged, informative and collaborative. Always greeted with a smile and a question as to how they can help me, I feel welcomed in this library and assured that I will accomplish my entertainment, learning or research goals while I am there. The director and staff are also engaged in the community. During recent cold spells the library became a 'warming center' for those citizens who had to contend with the extreme cold for various reasons. The children's programming is an especial wonder. Upcoming events are posted regularly on the library's website and also available at the library information wall and kiosk. Adult reading groups as well as craft groups are welcome at the library. The room rental is reasonably priced and amenities include wi-fi and other items. Tables and chairs are available. See Director and Staff for fees. Who is Leanna Hicks?

I've always loved the Scholastic Warehouse sales. The staff and volunteers are always so friendly…read moreand I always come out with a great haul! I've been to Belleville and other area sales. That being said, as it is a warehouse, it's very difficult for the general public to find things if you don't know where to look. Aisles have general labels (think K-3, young adult) so once you select an aisle, you have to look through literally every box. It's a fun treasure hunt but it does take some time. I've learned to go in for a specific category, suck as "Fish Nonfiction" vs a specific book as you never know what you'll find. I would also not recommend going with children as again, it's a working warehouse. I brought my infant son this time around who sat in the cart which worked out well but he got fussy overtime. I was a little disappointed this last sale as everything in the warehouse was BOGO Free instead of a percentage off. I go in with a set budget and it was difficult to keep track of which books are cancelling which out. I ended up spending more than I wanted to and was a bit frustrated. I really loved the percentage off sales even if they did take a bit more time to organize. I noticed a difference in my spending which may deter me from attending future sales. If they go back to percentage off sales, I will absolutely update my review! The warehouse itself is close to the freeway and very easy to find. The staff are incredibly nice and friendly and they don't at all seem put off by a bunch of teachers walking around their warehouse while they work!

I love going to the Scholastic Book Fair. Whether it a fair at school or the warehouse. We went…read moreto the warehouse to use our scholastic dollars to restock our school library with new books. We were able to supply a wonderful selection of new books, especially graphic novels and more informational text to our library. Thanks Scholastic for helping us revamp our newly renovated library!!

I could spend an entire day browsing in this store. What a hidden gem. Don't judge the book by its…read morecover and stop in. I would like to compare my experience here similar to The Vault at Midnight in downtown Ann Arbor... With way less college kids . There are so many items to chose from like collectible items, mugs, posters, books, magnets, stickers, candy, comic books (duh), board games etc that it has to be impossible to walk out without a few things in hand. But what I appreciate the most was the customer service experience I received and saw others receive while I shopped. The staff makes you feel super comfortable even if you don't even like comic books... Lol but you can tell they wear a badge of pride because they KNOW THEIR STUFF! In fact I learned something new about a storyline that I don't believe my husband knows about ... And I hope he'll be surprised for Christmas. And if that's not a selling point... I found my father in laws gift here before anyone else. THAT IS UNHEARD OF. The store is super organized, clean and up to date. And the prices are very fair. If you need stocking stuffers or a last minute Christmas gift... Try here before you browse on Amazon. I promise you won't be disappointed!!
