Clinton Macomb Public Library

One of the best libraries I’ve been in. Very nice. Great selection of all categories. Their book sales offer great deals not just on books but music, puzzles, children’s items, dvd’s etc. Great place to read, relax, use their services they offer etc.

This library is so beautiful, clean and fun! The amount of things they have for kids is amazing! Not many libraries dedicate such a large area to children. The reason for the 4 stars is that with such a beautiful library I expected better children’s classes. The teacher has no enthusiasm and does the same songs every week. She doesn’t include the kids in any activity and she is usually reading or reading a poem off a paper. Two year olds can’t sit still for that long. I wish she could include them and be more into it. If she looks bored why would they be into it?

Fantastic place!
Let’s see what do they have?
They have a LARGE kids area. Books of course as far as you can see, but a puppet area, book train, and so much more. Summer reading club too which I took place in at my local library growing up. I think all kids would be super happy here.
They rent out tons of movies. New releases and every season of tonss of shows. I saw an entire drawer of The Simpsons season 1 – 20 which is great. Check out times are 4 days on new releases and 7 for anything older. You can renew 3x.
The have a large audio book section. This is also great. Not just for older people, but kids and everyone else. Take one on a trip or listen on the way to work. Ever listened to a book while cleaning the house? Well you should. Then you cant say you NEVER HAVE TIME TO READ. think about it.
There is also a reading center for the blind. How awesome is that.
They have CD’s for rent.
They have a video game rental area. Loan period is 14 days. I think that is good, considering in the days of Blockbuster for $ 6.99 you wouldn’t even get that long. The catch to this is you can only rent 1 game at a time, because the selection isn’t that large. Cases for games are empty, so you have to go to a person to check these out.
They have NOOK and Kindle download rentals.
The kids area also rents kids movies (these are on the 2^nd floor with the rest of the kids area, not the main floor with the other DVD’s)
and they rent LeapPad products!
The do still have VHS tapes to rent out. And I see people taking the ALL the time. That’s kinda cool. lol.
The kids area also rents out puppets! When I was a kid I did this from my library. I’m so glad this place does this. Really neat way for kids to play with something new, and to teach them to respect something that someone else will soon be playing with.
They have a large area for computer usage. They have free wifi and the password is available at any of the check out desks.
There are also private study nooks where you can read work online without feeling crowded by the other computer users if that’s your thing.
The 2^nd floor also has a Detroit History Room! My person fav. This area requires a special key, and you can’t check items out of it. Inside you will find 3 computers, tons of MI and Detroit books and maps. The maps also need a special key. You need to check this out. I love to see this type of thing, maps of old streets, blueprints, etc. Awesome. So cool it’s right out my front door practically.
You can renew a book online! yay! You can also request to hold an item or have it transferred from another CT library in the Suburban Library Cooperative (SLC) You have 15 days to pick those up. Go to
for those libraries.
Lastly-​self check out. You scan your card, place all your goods on a magnetic pad and bam! you are printed a receipt with your return dates. You can also get email and text reminders of when they are due. I can tell you from experience the reminders on the new movies it the best.
The checkout are also has a little book store you can buy from, all the used books they don’t really circulate or have doubles of. This is located in a small area to the L when you come in, with vending machines and tables for snacks. Once a year they have a huge book sale. That is the best.
You bet your behind this place rocks.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
BOOKS. CHECK EM OUT.

Excellent. Thank GOODNESS it’s my library.

it IS as good as it gets! Clean, spacious, beautiful… I’m writing this review from one of the study rooms right now. This library stands out from all others in the area.

Great place for kids. There are puppets, many books, leap pad games, a computer room for young children with activities for all grade school age. My son is 2 and loves going to play on the train and to play with the little Thomas train set. They also have a room kids can play in with puzzles, fake food, magnetic alphabet and numbers.
Wonderful selection of all book types, movies, games, music and audio cds. Easy to check out and return.

This is the best library ever!!! Everything is super high-​tech. No need to wait in line to check out your books. Just swipe your library card, put books on special sensor pad and all done!!! This library is a gem. They have tons of activities and programs from infants to adults. I go to the children’s section a lot with my little 3 month old. The children’s section is really nice because it is hidden away from the rest of the library where people are studying. That way you will not get death glares if your child has a mini-​meltdown ;) Go and see for yourself how great this place is. Unfortunately, libraries will become extinct in the future. I plan on showing my children the value of a library… especially one like CMPL.

I love this library. It is a beautiful building that is well stocked and well maintained. I have borrowed books, dvd’s, CD’s, video games, audio books and even gadgets like the Nook and Kindle. The have a great selection of all types of media.
They also have a very nice website that makes placing holds, renewing items, searching for items, and paying fines a breeze. The people in the library are friendly and helpful and the auto checkout works great.
I also like that you can rent audiobooks and ebooks right on your own device with overdrive. It’s so cool to just get out my iPad and borrow a book without ever leaving home. But I still like to visit this library to just look around and discover things. They have lots of sitting and studying areas and even a beautiful fireplace.
I always see lots of events for kids and adults but I haven’t yet participated in one. But I’m sure they are fun and educational. Overall if you need to get a book there are plenty of ways this library can help you achieve that or if you want a quiet place to study or read it’s even better.

This is an amazing library library. Their catalog is huge, rarely do they not already have what I’m, looking for. The staff is very helpful. The building is two floors and is a beautiful, wonderful place to spend a quite afternoon. The children’s area is awesome and somewhat secluded on the second floor so noise isn’t an issue. My kids love it there.
The hold system/​website is very convenient. The same catalog viewed at the library can be accesses via their website and items can be placed on hold and they will be pulled from the shelf and placed on the hold shelf for quick pick-​up. The website is a wonderful tool for creating lists of cataloged books you’d like to check out.
This library participates in the suburban library cooperative so if you reside in a neighboring township (i.e. Chesterfield) they will link your card to them and you have nearly identical privileges to a resident.

If I could live here, I would!!! I was amazed the first time I went here (about 3 months after it was built) and instantly fell in love!!! I love that this place seems to be the center for community life in Clinton Township and I have a hard time finding a parking space whenever I visit! I’m here constantly (like 2 – 3 times a week) and I spend my visits wandering the stacks, picking up stuff I want to browse, and wind up taking home a giant stack :) There’s a great reading room at the back of the first floor, cushy chairs and fireplace included. I also love the extensive DVD collection… WHO DOESN’T LOVE WATCHING MOIVES FOR FREE!!! Seriously, folks… CMPL is the best place (not just library) in Clinton Township!!!
