Food for Fines for Helping Hand

For the sixth consecutive year, the library will participate in the
Food for Fines
campaign. Help us support Helping Hand Food Bank in Romulus. Bring non-perishable items to the library and we will forgive $1.00 in fines

for each item that is donated.
Food for Fines cannot be used for lost items or collection fees and we cannot accept items that are past the expiration date. Donations will be accepted for those without fines as well.

New Online Catalog
The Library is upgrading to a new online catalog system and will be closed May 26-28 (Memorial Weekend) to complete the migration. The online catalog will be unavailable during this three-day period. Fifty area libraries in The Library Network (TLN) will be affected by the upgrade.The new system will provide better access for patrons searching and borrowing materials.
In preparation for the migration, MeLCat services will be suspended on April 1, 2018 with a tentative resume date of July 1, 2018.
MeLCat requests will not be taken during this period, but any previously checked out MeLCat items may still be returned to the Library. Thank you for your cooperation as we get ready for our new system. We apologize for the interruption in service, but expect it to be a great improvement for our patrons.
