Detroit Historical Society Field Curator Billy Wall-Winkel will present a lecture exploring Detroit’s pivotal role as a major station on the Underground Railroad. Thousands of freedom seekers passed through Detroit, codenamed Midnight, crossing the Detroit River into Canada with the help of a dedicated and determined abolitionist community. Despite intense local opposition and constant threats from slave catchers and law enforcement, Detroit’s abolitionists persisted—protecting runaways, coordinating covert journeys, and playing a crucial role in the fight for freedom.

We Want Your Plastic Bags!

\n \n

Everyone agrees that the worst part of grocery shopping is the surplus of plastic bags—seemingly thousands of them—you accumulate after each trip! Are plastic shopping bags taking up valuable real estate in your home? Please consider donating them to the Library! The Circulation Staff is requesting donations of clean, dry plastic shopping bags with no rips or tears. If you have some you are looking to get rid of, please drop them off at the Checkout Desk any time we are open. Your donations are greatly appreciated.

New Study Rooms Are Hot (and Cool)!

\n \n

Since reopening in April, our new study rooms and meeting rooms have been incredibly popular and it’s not hard to see why. We now have seven rooms of varying sizes available for studying, tutoring, and meeting with small groups. Feedback from the public has been very positive. As with any renovation, however, little unexpected issues can arise, especially when creating rooms where rooms didn’t previously exist! If you’ve used one of the rooms during the hotter days this summer, you know that they can get a little toasty. We’ve been working on that and some changes have been made to how temperature is regulated in the new rooms. They are significantly cooler than before. We hope everyone will find them much more comfortable now during the hot summer months. Each room also features a thermostat so that you can adjust the room temperature a few degrees up or down. But if you run cold, you may want to bring a hoodie with you just in case!

The Friends of the Library Used Book Sale is the place to go for the best prices in town on used books! The sale is open whenever the Library is open and you can conveniently pay for your items at the Checkout Desk. All proceeds from the book sale benefit the Library directly through the Friends' various initiatives. If you would like to donate your own gently used books, CDs, DVDs, or puzzles, you can drop them off at the Checkout Desk as well. Please see our rules about donations and call the Library if you have further questions.

\n \n

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 and three trustees 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.
