Franklin Public Library

Located at the corner of Gratiot and McNichols, the Detroit Public Library Benjamin Franklin Branch has been an integral part of the community since 1950. This modern branch, replacing the older Outer Gratiot Branch, symbolizes the neighborhood's dedication to providing essential library services and access to books.

During the Depression era, the community came together to ensure the continuation of library services by hosting fundraising events such as bridge parties, carnivals, and fairs. The Franklin Branch Library stands as a testament to the importance of literacy and learning in the neighborhood, offering a range of enriching programs and activities for all.
