Renovation Update

We are in the final weeks of the renovation and the new and improved Roseville Public Library is starting to really shape up… and it looks great! Lighting, painting, and carpeting in the main library area are all complete and that work has now moved to Erin Meeting Room and the lobby. The shelving that we kept from the old Library has been cut down, cleaned up, and reinstalled. New furniture has arrived and is being assembled. When everything is done, the Library is going to be brighter, more colorful, and more comfortable. It will also be more useful with a layout specially designed with our patrons’ modern needs and expectations in mind.

But we’ve been telling you all that for nearly a year now… when will you get to see it for yourself? Very soon! Unfortunately, we do not yet have a reopening date set, but the construction crew is currently still on schedule and expect to be finished soon. As soon as we get the go-ahead, we’ll be bringing back all the books and other materials that have been in storage since the spring. Things are moving quickly now so please keep an eye on our social media as we hope to have a reopening date set within the next few weeks. We can’t wait to welcome you back!

In the meantime, Library business continues as close to normal as possible. You can still call us to ask reference questions or request items. Curbside Service continues as well and we are happy to bring your materials out to your vehicle during the hours listed near the top of this newsletter. We also have many fun programs coming up in February. You can register for Take & Make craft kits, join one of our book discussion groups on Zoom. We are also hosting programs at the Macomb Mall, in the City Council Chambers, and at the Roseville/Eastpointe Senior Center. Our new Winter Reading Bingo game continues through February 14. You can read about all of these programs below.

The “Mad Men” chairs have been a fixture in the Roseville Public Library since our days in the old building on Gratiot near Eleven Mile Road. They’re returning with some fresh new upholstery!

The Library's new look will be much more dynamic, varied, and colorful than it was in the past.

There's still plenty of time to pick up your Winter Reading Bingo card at Curbside and join in the fun!

Mix and match your reading, try something new, and enjoy the thrill of filling in your squares. Stay warm, get inspired, and make reading a fun winter game!

Don't believe it's fun? Let these people prove you wrong!

Just mention that you would like to sign up or that you are here for a Bingo check-in when you stop by for curbside pickup.

The Friends of the Library is a group of people who love their library. Most are Roseville residents or former residents. The group is overseen by a board of four officers who meet to discuss ways to support their library. If you want to volunteer for your public library, raise money for services, equipment, materials and programs not normally included in the annual budget and meet others who love their library, please consider joining the Friends. More information is available on the Friends page of the Library’s website or stop at the circulation desk in the Library.
