What is your opinion of the Detroit Public Library? Is it great, mediocre, declining rapidly, well maintained? I've been to Detroit many times but never to the library. I have some research to do and was wondering if it was worth the trip up there or not. It's about a 12 hour drive. That sounds worse than it is in my opinion. Anything less than 18 is a piece of cake. I'm not finding what I need locally or through the interlibrary loan system within the state. I'm researching early industial foundry and machining processes and Detroit seems a good place for such information. I didn't find what I was hoping to in NYC's SIBL (it seemed mostly industrial relations rather than processes) so I figured Detroits Main Branch on Woodward (I didn't see a science and technology branch listed online) and the Benson Ford Research Center would be the next logical places. Foundry and machining process are what built Detroit is/was all about to a degree.
