A nice little bookshop inside the Ann Arbor public library. Smaller than the dedicated stores downtown, but the books are packed tight and CHEAP. A better deal than anywhere else in town.

This is a lovely little book store on the inside of the library. Very good selection of books as well as some puzzles and games. Items were well take car of and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to take some books home from the library permanently.

The staff are great. But downtown, there are far too few comfortable chairs to sit and relax and read. The bathrooms are not maintained, they are always the pits. It's not a great place to hang out. The branches are far superior.

This is my first time to this amazing library In Downtown` ANN Arbor. And it is certainly amazing. I'm here for my friend Mohsin's Photography Show here in the multi-purpose room, downstairs. This other cool event is also going on next door

In my opinion, a Friends of the Library Bookshop will always be at least 4 stars. It just has to be. This place is no exception. The books appear to be 100% donated from the public, and all run around $2. The literature selection was pretty good, and better than you'd find at some actual bookstores, especially when factoring in the price. If you need to stock up on classics, there probably is no better place in the Ann Arbor area. Plus it goes toward a good cause.

The downtown branch of AADL is really the true urban locale of all the branches. It's situated right in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor & has undergone several renovation projects to restore, upgrade, or transform the facility. However, I'm pleased that no matter what, the children's room in rear on main floor is still in place. All of my children have enjoyed the fish tank over the years. Although "Nemo" is gone, he has been replaced by new gorgeous fish (see my photo). My daughter adored the doll house of yesterday year. We'd pour over the minute details & marvel over how they were able to create the tiny pieces to fill so many rooms. We loved the outdoor patio area of the house with its tiny tables complete with beverages atop. ... alas! The dollhouse is gone. The reading/activity tables and play areas are still there. Love that the new maximum fine allowed before prohibiting new book checkout is $25. Great for a mom like me whose 3 kids keep us in overdue land.

This pertains to the downtown branch and its dontation facility. When you have books to donate (no encyclopedia sets, National Geographic sets etc), pull up in the lot directly behind the building. Park at the loading dock and walk to the locked doors. Next to the door is a buzzer and intercom to buzz you in. Once inside, turn to the right and leave your bags and boxes in the bins. A cheery assistant will help and will provide you with a tax dediction slip. The hardest part is deciding which books to donate. The AADL makes it very easy to drop off and donate.
