History
The
Chaney Branch was named in honor
of the first Director of the Detroit
Public Library, Henry Chaney.
Professor Chaney served as Director
from 1865 to 1878. The Chaney
Branch opened to the public on
June 28, 1955. The site was previously
a bookmobile stop.
Currently,
the branch serves a diverse population.
The collection includes books
and audio tapes. There is a strong
emphasis on African-American literature
and testing materials.
There
is a separate meeting room available
for use by community organizations
and tutors. This same room is
used as a polling place for the
many elections held in the City
of Detroit.
