The Warren Branch was renamed to honor Anthony M. Esper in October 1961. Mr. Esper had been a Dearborn councilman for 24 years, as well as serving as the Treasurer of Springwells Township. Also, the Esper Family had once farmed the land that the Esper Branch now occupies. Esper Branch Library contains about 35,000 items in varying formats. Besides books, Esper also houses a fine collection of music CD's, entertainment and educational videocassettes, audio books, children's music cassettes, and popular magazines.
Daily newspapers are available for reading at the library.
Due to the large population of Arabic speakers in the neighborhood, Esper also has many Arabic language books, as well as some Arabic language videocassettes, and Arabic language newspapers. Family programming is a strong focus at Esper Branch. In winter, spring and fall, there are weekly story times for preschool children. About once per month there is a craft program for older children. Every month there is a guessing contest with prizes for children from 1-13.
