We go to the school library every two weeks. Students are able to choose 1 book and can bring them home to read  or leave them at school. 

Please consider taking your child to the Henry Ford Centennial Library once in a while to choose a few library books.

To get a library card, go to any Dearborn Public Library.  Please bring proof of address (driver’s license or state identification card).  You will be asked to complete an application form.  If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must give their written consent on the application form before a new card is issued.  If a child does not have proof of address, the parent or legal guardian must provide proof of address.
