Henry Ford Centennial Library
Exam ProctoringThe Dearborn Public Library provides exam proctoring at the Henry Ford Centennial Library location. Patron requests for exam proctors are referred to the librarian in charge of proctoring, who will schedule a date, time and appropriate place for the patron to complete the required test.
