The Bryant Branch library is located on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn. I have fond memories of attending girl scout meeting there when it was called the Mason branch in the 1970's.

The Dearborn Historical Marker gives us this interesting library history:
"This Building served as Dearborn's main library for 45 years, and was named the public library. Land for the building was donated in 1923 by Mrs. Henry Ford, construction was made possible by a bond issue of 150,000 approved by the voters of Dearborn Township on April 2, 1923. Ownership of the property was transferred from the township to the city of Dearborn in 1928. After the dedication of the Henry Ford Centelnnial Library in 1969, this building was called the Mason Branch library. By action of the Dearborn library Comission on April 2, 1977, it was named Bryant Branch library for Katherine Wright Bryant, wife of E. Roy Bryant and sister in-law of Clara Bryant Ford. Katherine Bryant was appointed to the first library board by the Dearborn Board of Education in July 1920"
