History
Named
for the area it serves, the Chandler
Park Branch opened in its present
location on March 23, 1957. The
branch sits on property donated
by the City of Detroit Parks and
Recreation Department. When it
opened, the building was described
as a light and airy tri-level,
and was the last branch to be
built for a number of years.
The
Chandler Park Branch has a strong
alliance with many neighborhood
organizations and provides programming
to support these organizations:
This
branch offers space (upstairs
auditorium) for block meetings
and neighborhood and classroom
programs. It also offers areas
for literacy tutoring. At certain
times during the year, the Chandler
Park Branch showcases artwork
from Selket A-Alkebu-Lan, whose
students range from eight years
of age to the teen years. This
branch strongly showcases African-American
materials, having separate sections
to highlight these materials.
Currently, ten computers are available
for public use.
