The Sterling Heights Public Library is proud to provide downloadable digital audio books in our collection. Browse or search for your favorite titles in OverDrive Audio Book format. Without leaving the comfort of your home, you can choose, checkout, download, and enjoy audio books on your computer. For listening-on-the-go, you can transfer the audio book to your portable MP3 device. To use the new service, simply click on the link on the library’s homepage. You will then use the MLC’s digital library. You will need your library card number. For more information, pick up a flyer at any library service desk.

Every day millions of old cell phones are thrown away and end up in landfills. Good News from the Friends! We are now accepting used cell phones and cell phone batteries for recycling. Just leave them in the box across from the Circulation Desk. We no longer can accept used ink cartridges. All proceeds from the recycling program will be used by the Friends to support library programs.

Public computers at the Sterling Heights Public Library are equipped with EnvisionWare, a computer software management system. Nonresidents or users who do not have their library card with them will be logged in by staff with a guest card. For more details on the system, click here.

The library no longer mails notices for holds, overdues, and bills due to the high cost of postage. The library is now using an automated telephone calling system that leaves a courtesy message. This system will leave a message on an answering machine or with any person (including a child) that answers the phone. If the person answering hangs up, the system will still log the call as successful. The quickest, most efficient means for the library to send notices is via e-mail. If you have e-mail that you check regularly, please inform the library by giving your address to the circulation staff.
