According to the latest MDHHS order, masks while indoors are still required for those who are not fully vaccinated, including children ages 2–11. Some people may choose to wear masks even though they are not required for them. Courteous behavior regarding masking decisions is expected.
Not ready for in-person browsing yet? Or, are you feeling unwell? Please call the library at 734-475-8732 x200 and we can place library materials into an overnight locker or make other arrangements for material pickup.
We sincerely look forward to seeing our community in person again and appreciate your patience as our staff navigate ever-changing health and safety guidance. If you applied for a library card online during the building closure, please come in and one of our friendly circulation staff members can help you finalize the paperwork and introduce you to library perks that come with being a CDL cardholder.
Welcome back.
