We are so proud of our partnership with Aunt Flow! We have been providing free menstrual products for more than two years in the fight for period equity.

Whether you're studying, browsing, or just stopping by, we've got you covered. Our initiative aims to support your needs and ensure you have access to essential hygiene products whenever you need them. All menstrual products are located in the bathrooms. Take what you need-no questions asked. Because your well-being is our priority!

Yeehaw! Our 3–5 year old Book Cubs had a rootin’ tootin’ good time at storytime as we learned all about cowboys and cowgirls! 🤠

We read "My Daddy Is a Cowboy" and "Real Cowboys", then got our wiggles out with a fun game of Tambourine Freeze. And of course, no cowboy storytime would be complete without a little creativity! Our Book Cubs made their very own cowboy boots out of paper bags.

Join us at 10:00 A.M. Wednesday, October 14 for a rootin' tootin' good time when we learn all about rodeos! Registration is required. Simply call 517-647-6981 or stop by the Youth Desk to sign up.

Beep-beep! Make some noise at Tiny Tots!

This fall, storytime is all about speech and communication. 0-2 year olds and their caregivers will wiggle, giggle, and explore the building blocks of speech together—including gestures, imitation, and first words. Join Miss Anna at the library every other Friday at 10:00 a.m. for in-person storytime - our next one is this Friday, October 9! Want to try storytime at home? Pick up one of our monthly caregiver packets and follow along with our videos! Registration today!
