Projects

Early literacy computers for the Children's area at the branch libraries

Earlier in 2010, the Dearborn Public Library Foundation funded the purchase of early literacy computers and software for the Children's area at each of the branch libraries. These top-rated machines are designed specifically for children from toddlers to second grade. The computers are being installed at the Bryant, Esper and Snow Branch libararies, matching those already at the Henry Ford Centennial Library.

Renovation of the Children’s and Youth areas at the Henry Ford Centennial Library

The Library Foundation funded the remodeling of the Children’s area at the Henry Ford Centennial Library (HFCL) in 2008. Remodeling of the Youth Activity Room at HFCL, used for programs for youth of all ages, is planned for later this year.
