Message from the Director Regarding Building Improvements:
Through the years, the Auburn Hills Public Library has aged, and many parts of the building are showing it. We strive for safety and an overall pleasant experience when you visit your library.
Over the next few years, AHPL will be getting a makeover.
Phase 1 begins this fall, with much-needed improvements to the adult area and main hallway. Fresh paint will replace the fading and worn wallpaper. New carpeting, lighting and seating will be added to the adult area, as well as new cabling throughout the building for faster and more reliable internet access.
Due to these improvements, the Library will need to be closed to the public from Tuesday, September 3 through Monday, September 9.
(The Library will also be closed Saturday, August 31-Monday, September 2 for the Labor Day holiday.)
All checked-out materials will not be due until Tuesday, September 10.
Upon reopening, AHPL will also be launching a new website, and a new online service called Kanopy, where you can download movies--from classics to documentaries.
We appreciate your patience and support as we improve your library.
Sincerely,
Lawrence Marble
Library Director

Alien Disaster Escape Room
Saturday, August 17
1:00-2:00 pm
(Ages 15+)
Aliens have escaped from a book and stolen the Dewey Decimal numbers from the spine labels of other books! Without the numbers, no one knows how to find anything, or where to put the books back...it will be a disaster! You know the librarian will return in 45 minutes--can you solve all five puzzles, defeat the aliens, and
get
the numbers back on the books before they return?
