21. Central Vermont Library Histories - Northfield History of the Brown Public Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Northfld.htm

Brown Public Library - Northfield From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: George Washington Brown was donor of Northfield's Brown Public library built in the early 1900s on the corner of South Main Street (VT Route 12) and Slate Avenue. The Classical Revival building of red brick with granite trim was completed in 1906 and cost between $20,000 and $25,000. Before Brown's welcome gift, the town had several libraries starting in 1850 with a small collection set up in the railroad depot. In 1856, the Vermont and Canada Railroad Association library was founded, to be followed by the Northfield library Association in 1871. Librarian Frank Plumley oversaw the library in its location in the train shed over the railroad station. There were 75 shareholders who paid $5 a share, 50 cents yearly dues, and 2 cents for each book they borrowed. In 1895, Northfield appropriated $50 under the law of 1894 and established the Northfield Free Public Library, dedicated in 1896 and located in the Paine block. In 1897, unusual support came from the dog tax. After a fire destroyed the building, the books were relocated in the Union block. After another fire in 1904, the library was moved to E.K. Jones's house. The need for a permanent place for the collection was met when Brown offered to build a library in memory of his family. Born and raised in Northfield, he had started his successful career at age 18 working for the Central Vermont Railroad. He left the state, made a fortune in the United Shoe Machinery Company, and became a patron of music in Boston.

24. Central Vermont Library Histories - Washington History of the Waterbury Town Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Washingt.htm

Calef Memorial Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Calef memorial Library, a Colonial Revival building located on VT Route 110 in Washington, is built of red brick on a cement foundation. When Ira C. Calef, who died in 1917, wrote in his will that he would give the town $12,000 to build a library, he added an interesting proviso: if granitepreferably building blockswas used on the outside, he would give $3,000 more. The only granite on the building is the plaque over the entrance, "CALEF library 1919," the year construction began. One wonders if the additional money was forthcoming. In 1896, nearly 25 years before, the Washington Town library was established with C.H. Johannessen as librarian. The fact that the hours were every weekday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. indicates the books were probably kept in a private home or in a store. Calef was born and died in this small community about 9 miles south of Barre, but he spent most of his life elsewhere. One of 12 children, he left Washington at age 16, eventually making his fortune in the meat-packing industry in Iowa and Chicago. He kept ties with his boyhood town, returning often during the summer. His obituary noted, "Mr. Calef's biography is the story of a New England boy who overcame many obstacles in reaching a position of affluence among the business men of two generations."

27. Central Vermont Library Histories - Barre History of the Waterbury Village Public Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/WaterbyV.htm

Waterbury Village Public Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Waterbury Village Public Library, the larger of two in town, is located on Main Street (US Route 2) in a converted private home that withstood the flood of 1927. Dr. Henry Janes, eminent in the Civil War and in private practice, built the Queen Anne house about 1875 as his residence and surgery. He died in 1915, leaving it to be used for a library. The first library began in 1856, when two brothers, George and Edwin Colby, came to town and organized the Waterbury library Association, a type of lyceum formed for debate and the presentation of papers. A collection of 500 books was made available to members as fuel for their arguments. Early in 1887, when interest in the lyceum had waned, a Congregational minister, Charles M. Sheldon, started a reading club for young people. Later that year, he established the Waterbury Reading Room and Library, then in 1888, he helped found the Waterbury Public library Association whose $1,000 stock was made up of $1 shares. After members of the lyceum had turned their books over to the new library and had received one free share each, Etta Straw took over on November 24 in rooms rented at $3.50 a month from L.P. Mussey. When Henrietta Fales died in 1906, she left $15,000 to the library in memory of her husband, Horace. For 20 years support came from dues, donations, and proceeds from lectures, ice cream sales, and entertainments. W.P. Dillingham loaned space over the Waterbury Savings Bank, and in 1908, the library was made free to all legal residents. A rented room in the Hobart block was used until the move to the Janes house.

28. Central Vermont Library Histories - Waitsfield History of the Joslin Memorial Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Waitsfld.htm

Joslin memorial Library - Waitsfield From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: On memorial Day in 1913, some old soldiers (no doubt Civil War veterans) laid the cornerstone of the Joslin memorial Library, a yellow-brick building located on VT Route 100 in the center of town. The gift of George Alfred Joslin in memory of his grandfather, Joseph Joslin, the Classical Revival building was dedicated five months later on October 30. The Waitsfield library Association, the town's first, began 50 years earlier in August 1866 when 100 members paid an annual fee of $3 each to support the library. W.A. Jones earned $18 a year as librarian and kept the collection in his store until 1883, the year the group disbanded. No library activity was reported for 13 years, but in 1896 the Waitsfield Town library was established under the law of 1894. It is believed that the core collection came from the defunct association, for the town library started out with 275 volumes, $100-worth of these coming from the state. This library was kept in the Eaton block, then in Lucius and Bertha Savage's residence for a period of 17 years. The growing collection needed a permanent home and Joslin, a Waitsfield native who had become wealthy in the newspaper business in Omaha, Nebraska, made this possible. John MacDonald of Omaha was architect, F.A. Walker of Montpelier was supervisory architect, and the H.P. Cummings Construction Company of Ware, Massachusetts built the $21,000 library.

30. Central Vermont Library Histories - Barre History of the Warren Public Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Warren.htm

Warren Public Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Warren Public Library, located off VT Route 100B in the village, is housed in an addition to a former schoolhouse, built in 1867 and serving that purpose until the early 1970s. The building was converted for municipal use and now contains town offices as well as the library. In February 1974, after remodeling was completed, the library was opened to the public. At the March 1900 town meeting 75 years earlier, $25 was appropriated, five trustees were elected, and the first library was established under the law of 1894. In 1901, the state's 104 books arrived and in 1902, the library bought 54 more for $50. For over 70 years, the library was housed in 10 private homes and in three buildings in the village. The Plyna Parker house was the first location, with wife Laura in charge. As the library was moved from home to home, parlors and hallways were used with one woman setting space aside in her front room where the books were stored in a single bookcase and in boxes. The small library was also located in the Downer hotel lobby and in the Oddfellows Hall. In 1957, it was relocated once again, this time to share a two-room building with the town clerk. The move to the former school provided more space. The renovation retained historic details such as pilasters, lintels over the windows, and a circular louvre over the main entrance. In 1993, there was an added surprisea sort of natural history lessonappealing especially to younger patrons. A swallow had built a nest over the door and was feeding her hungry brood. This prompted librarian Lois Kaufmann to joke, "That bird will hate it during the book sale!"

32. Central Vermont Library Histories - Woodbury History of the Woodbury Community Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Woodbury.htm

Woodbury Community Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Woodbury Community Library, one of the most recent of the 14 such libraries in the state, shares a small clapboard building beside the Woodbury Elementary School, located off VT Route 14 in the Center. In 1991, town residents held a "barn raising" (or "library raising") event and put up the one-room building to house the school's book collection. During the 1994-95 academic year, the Woodbury Public library books were moved from their former location in the town clerk's building. By 1930, the books had been classified, lettered, and labeled, and children were taking a great interest in reading. At about this time, the library was located in J.A. Thorpe's general store with his wife as librarian and could be visited whenever the store was open. In 1932, the Hardwick library donated four new books, while eight small ones for children were bought with money from fines. In 1953, the local grange chose the library as their project and offered rent-free space in their hall. Here the books were kept for 20 years until they were moved in 1973 to a former Greek Revival school built about 1860 on the main highway. Volunteers painted and carpeted a basement room in preparation for the move. In 1986, David MametPulitzer Prize winner for drama in 1984donated his complete works to the library. At the time, he was Woodbury's unofficial poet-in-residence.

34. Central Vermont Library Histories - Marshfield History of the Jaquith Public Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Marshfld.htm

Jaquith Public Library - Marshfield, Vermont From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: When Marshfield's Jaquith Public library was moved on September 11, 1993 to its present location at the Old Schoolhouse Common off US Route 2, it kept the original name acquired in 1899. The first Jaquith building, still standing at the junction of the same route and the cabot Road, is an interesting ex-library. The Marshfield library whose existence is noted in one of its books dated February 11, 1850 was a circulating type, probably the first in town. On March 19, 1895, after voters agreed to elect trustees and appropriate $25 under the law of 1894, the first board meeting of the Marshfield Public library was held. The following November, the state sent $100-worth of books and the library opened to the public. Andrew Jaquith, a Peacham native who earned his money in Massachusettsfirst as a peddlar in Templeton, then as a successful businessman in Gardnerhad a fondness for Marshfield. He and his wife died in 1895 and were buried there. Since they were childless, they willed this town $7,000, with all but $1,000 to be used to build and support a library in the village. The gift stipulated that the town must provide a suitable site, take care of all running expenses, and buy no immoral books. Advocates from "down town" and from "up on the common" wrangled about the location until Ira Bemis donated a lot. builder C.J. Wood was paid $900, Ozias C. Pitkin earned $60 for laying the foundation, and F.C. Merrill did the paint work for $35. After $96.28 was spent on furniture and $30 on a woodshed, the library was dedicated on November 16, 1899.

36. Central Vermont Library Histories - Barre History of the Kellogg-Hubbard Public Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Montpelr.htm

Kellogg-Hubbard Public Library - Montpelier From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Kellogg-Hubbard Library, a prominent granite building on Main Street, has served the capitol city since 1895. An addition built on the rear in 1975 increased the space and provided physical accessibility. Although this popular library was born of contention and haunted off and on by controversy, it ranks second in the state in circulation and fourth in collection size. Montpelier had several libraries in the 100 years before the Kellogg-Hubbard opened. In 1794, a circulating library that offered only novels and religious books was probably run by Parley Davis. Ezekial Walton, who started a literary debate club called the Franklin Society in 1807, claimed that all the members were upstanding, intelligent citizens, except for one who was thrown out because of profanity. The Village library Society, founded in 1814, existed until 1850 when it turned its books over to the Young Men's library Association, a group that lasted only a brief time. Other short-lived literary attempts included the Agricultural library about 1860, and two reading rooms between 1860 and 1880 that provided newspapers and popular magazines free to the public. In 1882, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union sponsored a fund drive to raise $5,000 in subscriptions for a public library.

38. Central Vermont Library Histories - Moretown History of the Moretown Memorial Public Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Moretown.htm

Moretown Memorial Public Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Moretown memorial Library, a two-story white-clapboard building on VT Route 100B, is located high above the Mad River. Built as a private home and known as the Palmer house, it was purchased for $450 in 1923 and converted for library use. The Moretown library Association, the first in town, started in May 1904 with $250 in subscription money. It was followed by the Moretown Public Library, organized on March 7, 1905 under the law of 1894, which entitled the library to receive 124 books from the state a year later. In March 1916, when the association sold its books to the newly-formed Moretown Free library for $19.09, the public library was discontinued. Florence Haylett kept the new library in her home until she resigned in 1919. In 1921-22 the library was open for a time, but it needed new quarters. Consequently, on October 24, 1923, the trustees met to discuss buying the Palmer house. Letters that they sent out requesting money for repair, upkeep, and the purchase of books brought responses from 28 former residents, three townspeople, the Community Club, and the old Dramatic Club. The Late Greek Revival house with porch, sidelights, and curved lintels over the windows was much larger in 1923 than it is today. The flood of 1927 washed away all but what remains: one large room with a children's alcove and two upstairs rooms used by the Moretown Historical Society. The library, closed for repairs until September 1929, has since stayed open with town support. Recently, the foundation was worked on with assistance from Vermont Historic Preservation and the upstairs rooms were cleaned and put to use. Although open only a few hours each week, Moretown's library continues to serve a population of about 1,400.

40. Central Vermont Library Histories - Roxbury History of the Roxbury Free Library from the book Where the Books Are written by Patricia W. Belding. http://central-vt.com/towns/library/Roxbury.htm

Roxbury Free Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Roxbury Free library is a small white-clapboard building with a door and one window facing East Hill Road (VT Route 12A). Located near Teelawooket, a summer camp for young people, it was built in 1923 in plain Vernacular style. The one-room building, formerly a tea room, was converted and opened as a library on March 17, 1934. It was heated by a woodstove at a time when a third of a cord of wood cost $2. In the 1930s, the library was used for Red Cross first aid training. A ladies' group, the King's Daughters, helped mend 40 books in 1941, the same year they netted $3.28 by showing movies at the town hall. This amount was the start of a fund to build a library walkway. In 1976, a gas heater replaced the woodstove, paving the way for the 1980s, a decade that enjoyed strong support from trustees and town. Programs and special events such as story hours and outreach services made for a busy library. About 1990, as in many small towns, an addition was being considered for the Roxbury Village School. A library was included in the plans, but after meetings were held to discuss a community facility, the idea was rejected. Although its use has declined, the town library is a resource for the school and focuses on programing for all ages.
