Civic Center Library is currently undergoing essential repairs to the building’s foundation that prohibits access to the main doors and book return. We now have a new book return located near our curbside pickup area. You may continue to hold on to your items as we will not charge fines until patrons are allowed back in the building. Sandburg’s book return is also open.
Operating hours for both Civic Center and Sandburg during curbside service:
Monday thru Friday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. For curbside pickup by appointment only.
Beginning June 10th, we will call patrons with items currently on our hold shelf to schedule curbside pickup. We will schedule a 15 minute window, so please adhere to the schedule and park in your designated space to make the process as smooth as possible.
Beginning June 17th, we will provide materials through a “holds only” service. Much like restaurant carryout, our library takeout will be curbside only (Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
Once you are notified that your holds are available, call us to schedule a 15-minute window to pick up your materials. Please arrive at your scheduled pickup time and park in one of the designated parking spaces (please tell us if you are walking/biking, so we can give you instructions for picking up your materials). Let us know you are here by calling (734) 466-2491 at Civic Center Library or (248) 893-4010 at Sandburg Library and then open your trunk. A library staff member will bring your items out to you and place them in your trunk (we ask that you close your own trunk after we walk away).
If you need help picking out books, you can also request a book bundle. Fill out a form for pickup at the Bennett Civic Center Library (Picture books, Grade School books, Tween books, Teen books, or Adult books) or the Carl Sandburg Library (Picture books or Teen books) and a staff member will contact you to schedule a pickup time.
Summer Reading is all online this year. For more information visit our Kid and Tween Page (for kids entering grade 7 and younger), the Teen Page (for grades 8-12), or the Adult Page. Register for summer reading and update your log at LivoniaLibrary.Beanstack.org.
If you have additional questions, please email us at Lvcc@LivoniaPublicLibrary.org or give us a call at (734) 466-2491.
Thank you. We look forward to seeing you soon.

While we do not have firm dates for reopening, we are hopeful that it will be very soon. During the “Grab and Go” phase, patrons will be able to come in and browse for items and check them out. Seating and meeting room use will not be available at this time, and a limited number of patrons will be allowed inside each library building per local and state requirements. The Bennett Civic Center library will remain closed until the public entrance construction is completed.
Book donations will not be accepted until further notice.
