History
The Jefferson Branch of the Detroit Public Library was opened in rented quarters on Warren Avenue, September 27, 1937, as the East Warren branch. The library moved to its present location on East Outer Drive on October 4, 1951, the first National Library Day. It is named for the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson.

The library provides services for all ages, including books, magazines, videos, audio cassettes, and Internet access. Services include income tax forms January through April, student financial aid forms, computers for public use, core collection of Career & Employment Information Center materials and a copy machine.

Jefferson Branch, with a total book collection of 53,000 titles, serves a community population of 75,000 residents on Detroit's east side [on the border between the City of Detroit and Grosse Pointe].
