Mott Branch opened in 1918 with funds from famous Library philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Anna C. Mott, an active Toledoan who left a portion of her estate to the Library, is the namesake for the Branch. The Library expanded twice, first in the mid-1970s and again in 1998.
Directly across the street at Smith Park, adjacent to the Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School, the Library constructed a new, modern 21st-century Branch which opened in June 2019.
