Esper Branch Library

The former Esper Hygiene Locker has been rebranded as the Community Cabinet and moved to the Henry Ford Centennial Library location with a small selection of supplies also available at the Bryant Branch Library.

The cabinet will offer free toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, floss picks, bandages, soap, hand sanitizer, lotion, lip balm, tissues, menstrual supplies, and other items. Most amenities were purchased with funds from Friends of the Library Dearborn (FOLD).

The cabinet and its contents will be available to all visitors during regular hours at the library while supplies last. Community members are encouraged to take only what they need from the cabinet to ensure others who may need items also have the chance to benefit. Library staff also strongly encourage using the products only as intended, and to check the labels to avoid any potential health risks or adverse reactions.

In coordination with the Dearborn Department of Public Health, the cabinet will be adorned with QR codes linking visitors to websites for local clinics, charitable organizations, and nonprofit organizations in the area that assist with housing, transportation, and mental health resources.
