Eastern Branch

The Eastern Branch was affiliated with the Jackson Public Library and began operations in 1914. In 1942, the library moved to Orange Street in a building provided by Mr. Gilbert Knibloe.

In 1985, the Jackson District Library received a LSCA Title II grant to be used for the construction of a new building. The operations of the Eastern and Michigan Center branches were merged in 1987 when a new, larger facility on the east side of Jackson was opened. In 2023, substantial renovations were done to the exterior and interior of the branch.
