===Public library===
Redford Township Library is located on West Six Mile Road. The library service began in the 1920s, with a bookmobile providing service to the citizens of Redford Township.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Mission & History|url=https://www.rtdl.org/about/us/|access-date=2021-02-19|website=Redford Township District Library|language=en-US}}</ref> By the 1950s, the library operated out of a small store front on Beech-Daly Rd. about a block south of Fenkel. A larger,  newly constructed and more modern Redford Township District Library operated from 1962 until August 23, 2004, when the library moved again to another newly constructed, even larger, technologically updated building. In a $4.5 million project, the old library building was turned into an open-air market, amphitheater (the Redford Marquee) and public green space. The Redford Marquee opened in July 2008.<ref>[http://www.metromodemedia.com/devnews/redfordmarqueedone0078.aspx "Marquee market, amphitheater opens in downtown Redford"], Jon Zemke, MetroMode, July 31, 2008.</ref> The construction of the new library was facilitated by an $8.5 million community bond.
