📖 About Taylor Community Library
Library service in Taylor dates to 1922, when Wayne County Bookmobile stops began delivering books from the Detroit Public Library to residents who found them on a shelf or two inside Koth's general store. As the city's population grew through the mid-20th century, a dedicated branch was established, eventually landing at its current Pardee Road address and joining The Library Network — a consortium of more than 60 southeast Michigan communities sharing a unified catalog and borrowing system. Today Taylor Community Library enriches the city through information, education, technology, and cultural programs. Among its most distinctive offerings is the Braille & Talking Book program, which it administers as the designated regional hub for all residents of Wayne County, Michigan's most populous county. The library's technology resources include an adult computer lab with Chromebooks and wireless hotspot lending, youth computers, early-learning AWE stations for young children, and a textile lab. Cardholders also benefit from Michigan eLibrary (MeL), the statewide digital resource, and from the broader Library Network catalog connecting them to collections across southeast Michigan.
