Java and Jazz at Detroit Public Library

Once a month there is a Java and Jazz series at the almost century old Detroit Public Library sponsored by Comerica Bank. In the midst of their 13th season, this month you can hear Saxappeal on Tuesday evening, May 21 at 6pm and they are free. This is a super cultural experience for all ages.

Detroit Public Library

The mother of all libraries in Michigan is in Detroit on Woodward across from the D.I.A. It is 88 years old, but with its Vermont marble construction, it stands the test of time. That well-known philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie, donated the funds for the it. So the city of Detroit hired architect, Cass Gilbert, who also designed our Supreme Court in Washington DC. There's a lot to see and learn about in this grand three-story structure. It is well worth it to take one of the tours through the Detroit Historical Society.
