The Sanger Branch opened in 1950. The name originates from Sigmond Sanger, a prominent Toledo tax attorney and President of the Library Board of Trustees for 27 years. Since 1950, the Sanger Branch has moved several times to accommodate neighborhood demand. First located in the Colony Shopping Center, then relocated to the Kenwood Shopping Plaza for more than 40 years, a new building was built in 2000, thanks to Lucas County voters and the generosity of the National Exchange Club.
