Questions

Where is the nearest library in Detroit?
Allow location access and the map centres on you with the closest of the 48 mapped libraries around it, or pan to any area and search there. Tap a marker for its position, opening hours when known, and walking directions.
Are the libraries in Detroit free to use?
Public libraries normally are, both for reading on site and for using the toilets, wifi and workspace. Borrowing usually needs a library card, which is typically free for residents.
Are opening hours shown?
Where OpenStreetMap has them. Branch libraries often keep shorter and more variable hours than the main library, and some have self service hours outside staffed times, so confirm before a special trip.
What is a public bookcase?
A street cabinet or shelf where anyone can take a book and leave one, sometimes called a little free library. They are included here alongside proper libraries, and they are the kind of small fixture only OpenStreetMap bothers to map.
Where does this libraries data come from?
From OpenStreetMap, a map built by volunteer surveyors and maintained continuously. It is the best available source for small fixtures like this one, because they are the things commercial map providers do not bother collecting.
Something is missing or wrong. Can I fix it?
Yes, and it is the fastest way to get it corrected. Edit the point on openstreetmap.org and the change flows through to this page on the next refresh. There is no separate database here to correct.
Is the list of libraries in Detroit complete?
It is as complete as the local survey effort. Densely mapped cities are close to exhaustive; elsewhere expect gaps. The map is always the fuller view, since the list on this page only names the points that have a name.
