Once a tour is booked, you will be contacted only if a conflict with time or date arises, or if the tour guide has questions about any special needs of the group. If your organization or group needs to cancel a tour, or will be late, contact Public Services. Requests for tours should be made 10 days ahead of time. Tours last approximately an hour and a half. Tour guides are librarians who cover the reference departments and collections at Main Library, as well as the architecture and decorative features of the building.
Tour groups can request that particular areas be highlighted during their tour.
No tours are booked during February due to heavy demands on library staff for African American History Month. Detroit Public Library. All rights reserved.
