Opened in January 2004, the Malletts Creek Branch replaced the Loving Branch and is a unique model of sustainable design featuring solar heating, natural day lighting, a vegetated green roof, convection cooling, naturally captured and filtered storm water, native plants and grasses, and many uses of materials that are renewable resources. The Malletts Creek Branch was awarded the 2005 American Institute of Architects Michigan (AIA Michigan) Award for Sustainable Design. The Malletts Creek Branch is a one-story building of approximately 14,000 square feet that serves as a community-based learning center that delivers superior customer service, primarily to the residents of the southeast quadrant of Ann Arbor. The building and the surrounding landscape capitalize on environmental principles, thereby allowing the overall project to operate more in harmony with the ecosystem and the community in which it serves.

Resources

The Branch houses an updated collection, consisting of traditional materials, such as books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays. Electronic resources include 28 computer terminals, printers, copy and fax machines, and wireless internet access throughout the building. Along with the more traditional picture and chapter books, the Mallets Creek Youth and Teen section features a sizable collection of Teen graphic novels, youth magazines and a group of iPads.

Spaces

While its primary mission is to deliver traditional library services, the Branch also serves as a true community center. This facility includes a quiet and comfortable reading area complete with fireplace that houses the branch's magazines and newspapers. Malletts Creek also features a vending area with seating for 20 people, a program room for groups of up to 80 people, two meeting rooms, three study rooms, and a children's play area.
