Monroe County Library System is a depository for Federal, State, Local, and Nuclear Documents. These documents are housed in the Ellis Reference and Information Center on South Custer Road. Many of the documents are cataloged and can be found on the library's online public access catalog (opac). Some of the documents are small publications and can be found in the Pamphlet File. The remainder of the documents are located in Room B. Documents not currently in our collection can be inter-library loaned from either Detroit Public Library or the Library of Michigan. If you need assistance with any of these documents please contact a reference librarian.
