Food For Fines "Holiday Edition" - November 1 - December 7 Make those pesky overdue fines go away and help us support Helping Hand Food Bank in Romulus this holiday season. Bring non-perishable items to the library November 1 - December 7 during regular library hours and we will forgive $1.00 in fines on Romulus Library materials 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 from those without fines as well. Thank you!

Parking Lot Update The new entrance off of Wayne Road is open and the parking lot construction is expected to be completed very soon. Because we care about the safety and well-being of our patrons, additional barrier-free parking, brighter lighting, and security cameras have been added. Thank you again for your patience and we hope you enjoy the new lot.
