History
The
Duffield Branch was named after
Divie B. Duffield, who served
as a member and president of the
Detroit Library Commission 1904-1915
and 1920-1935. The Duffield Branch
opened to the public on November
24, 1916, and was one of the Detroit
library branches built with Carnegie
funds.
Some
of the special services and programs
this branch offers include a computer
lab, a collection of approximately
500 music CDs and a Friends group
(one of the oldest in the Detroit
Public Library system, dating
back to the 1940s).
Every
February, Duffield Branch hosts
a contest, The Black Hero's Essay
and Oratorical Contest, for students
of local schools. Anyone interested
in participating in the program
or helping with it should call
the branch for more information.
