West Bloomfield Township Public Library

Once a small library in the suburbs of Detroit, the West Bloomfield Township Public Library has grown to meet the needs of a culturally diverse community by maximizing its resources through strategic partnerships with families, schools, non-profits, and local government agencies. No matter the changes, the library’s most important partnership is still with parents. As their child’s first teachers, parents are most likely to instill a lifelong love of reading and learning. Through its Grow Up Reading® initiative, the library reinvented its Youth Services Rooms, creating interactive spaces for families to play and learn.
