ðDid you know? The Detroit Public Library recently celebrated its 160th Anniversary! The Detroit Public Library isn't just a local gemâit's a literary giant! It's the second-largest library system in Michigan (just behind the University of Michigan) and proudly ranks as the 12th-largest public library system in the entire U.S.! From its humble beginnings in a room at Capitol High School in 1865 with just 5,000 books to becoming one of the largest public libraries in the nation, the Detroit Public Library has been a cornerstone of knowledge, culture, and community. The picture below is the first library building that was constructed in 1872 at Centre Park. The stunning Main Branch was built in 1921. â¨Happy Anniversary to the Detroit Public Library! Here's to 160 years of learning, legacy, and literary love in the heart of Detroit! ð Read more about its history here: https://shorturl.at/0CHjX ~~ #OneWayneCounty #MyTakeOnWayne
