Dearborn Public Library

Facilities and equipment are designed to carry out the full range of services to meet the needs of the community as determined by the library's long-range plan. Facilities need to allow for flexibility of service, for growth, and for changing priorities in service. Libraries that are conveniently and visibly located, accessible to all members of the community, comfortable, and safe invite users inside to take advantages of library services.
