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

Kimball Public Library - Randolph From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: In 1903, Robert J. Kimball, a Randolph native who became a successful financier in New York City, donated the library bearing his name. The red-brick building, located next door to the Chandler Music Hall on Main Street (VT Route 12), is an impressive monument to Kimball who at age 13 began his career as newsboy and telegrapher for the Vermont Central Railroad. At the March 1896 town meeting not long before the building was completed, the Randolph Public library was established under the law of 1894. The state sent 134 books, space was "fitted out" over Morton's drug store in the DuBois and Gay block, and the library opened on November 14 with Maud Blanchard as librarian. The following March, the King's Daughters, the Randolph Book Club, and individual donors added to the core collection. In 1898, the Ladies' library Association, an earlier literary group, donated its 1,500 books. The following year, the Sarah Jane Crocker estate provided $3,500 for the library's use. After Kimball offered to give $10,000 to build a library, the town acted swiftly in acquiring the $3,200 property that included the site, a tenement, and a barn. The choice was pleasing to Kimball, for he had lived in the house as a boy. At a special meeting on November 30, the "wide-awake citizens of Randolph"46 accepted the generous proposal. Dedicated on February 24, 1903, the Renaissance Revival building is trimmed with sandstone from Longmeadow, Massachusetts. It has a basement story of Isle La Motte black marble and a slate roof topped by a large copper dome with ornamental finials and cresting. On the front, a brownstone arch and a frieze carved with the library's name are flanked by three long windows on either side.

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

Aldrich Public Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Aldrich Public Libray is located on a well-chosen lot across from City Park on Washington Street (US Route 302). Dedicated on September 22, 1908, it is part of an unusual historic district composed of five churches and city hall with its recently-restored opera house. Each of these buildings is at least a decade older than the library which was built with money from the estate of Leonard Frost Aldrich. Barre's early libraries began about 1855 with small book collections in two stores on North Main Street: Dr. A.E. Bigelow's drug store and Nathan Morse`s shoemaker shop. A library history recalls that a customer could take Robinson Crusoe (or some other book popular at the time) from a book shelf behind the woodstove and read a few pages while waiting to be measured for a pair of shoes. An agricultural library in Stillman Wood's drug store operated from about 1860 to 1865. On December 8, 1873, Rev. A. Chandler, a Congregational minister, helped establish the Barre library Association with 80 members paying membership fees of $2.50 each. After 1887, the books were housed in the Wheelock law office, a historic building on North Main Street (now a center for the Barre Senior Citizen

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

Brookfield Free Public Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Brookfield Free Public Library, reached via VT Routes 14 and 65, is the oldest continually operating library in Vermont. Established as the Brookfield library Association in 1791, about 16 years after the town's settlementit now shares a converted private home with the town clerk's office. This Classic Cottage with simple doorway and sidelights is located in Pond Village just above the famous floating bridge, a tourist attraction and an institution in its own right. Historical note: The present bridge is one of several built in the same spot starting in 1812, a few decades after the library began. The first library was started on June 7, 1791 when 48 men, each paying 16 shillings ($2.67), became shareholders by signing the association's constitution whose purpose was to promote knowledge and piety. The books were "bid off" at quarterly book auctions held at first at a tavern in Brookfield Center where an old chest was kept. This was described as "a plain wood-colored affair, four or five feet long, about two feet high and as many wide, tightly padlocked, which is supposed to have held the first precious volumes of the library." About 1850, when the question of women's membership arose, Howard Griswold, a library officer at the time, made a motion to allow the "fairer sex" to bid for books. His daughter Selinda had been attending the meetings to help him check out books. The motion was passed "more through fear of discourtesy than otherwise.... Miss Griswold braved alone the criticism of a woman who was so unladylike as to appear in public, for two meetings before her younger sister, and then two other women, joined her."43

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

Cabot Public Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Cabot Public Library, located on the Cabot Road off US Route 2 in Marshfield, occupies one large room in a substantial gray building resembling a school. Called the Willey memorial Hall, the Greek Revival structure also contains the town clerk's office and a large meeting room with stage and balcony. Charles A. Willey and the Judith Lyford Women's Club joined forces to build the community center in 1922. The club has helped support the library since 1920. On August 15, 1896, the Cabot Free library was established under the law of 1894. Books from former circulating libraries and from the state made up the collection which may been the library-over-a-store mentioned in earlier records. In 1912, when members began raising money, they put on plays and lectures, printed a cookbook, and sponsored a kitchen orchestra. Cabot has celebrated Old Home Week every year since the custom began in Vermont in 1901. In 1916, Willey received an invitation, one of many sent to former Cabot residents living out-of-state. When he came to town for the celebration, he was president of the C.A. Willey Company in New York City. The elaborate letterhead described his business as the manufacturers "of Automobile, Carriage and Car Paints, Colors, Varnishes, Etc." During his visit, he made a verbal promise to Gertrude Wells, president of the Ladies' library Association (then part of the women's club): for each $1 the town raised, he would give $2 to build a library or a library/town hall combination building. Within two months after his return to New York, he put the offer into writing and it was gratefully accepted.

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

Stowe Free Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Stowe Free Library, occupying the first floor of a former school built in 1861, is located a block east of Main Street (VT Route 100). It shares the tastefully-restored Helen Day memorial library and art Center building. The original architecture of the $5,000 Late Greek Revival school has been retained in the wide verandah with fluted Doric columns, the handsome balcony, the large windows, and the elaborate belfry. In 1828, over 150 years before the book collection was moved to its present location, Stowe's literary history began with a subscription library, followed in 1863 by an agricultural one. In May 1866, still another library was started when summer visitors donated 51 books and townspeople voted $100 to increase the collection. Warren I. Atkins, who kept the books in his grocery store, may have been the first librarian. George W. Jenney and his wife took over in 1870, operating the library out of their store until 1904 when the books were moved into the Akeley memorial building, still standing on Main Street. Colonial Revival in style and built of red brick with Barre granite trim, the latter is interesting as an ex-library. Dedicated to Stowe soldiers on August 19, 1903, it was the gift of Healey Cady Akeley, a native of Stowe who prospered in the lumber business out West. The library, sharing the building at first with the post office, two lock-up cells, and town offices, remained there until 1981.

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

Cutler Memorial Library - Plainfield From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: Cutler memorial Library, a Cottage-style building, is located on High Street (US Route 2), the main highway running through Plainfield. The outside of the gray-shingled library is deceiving, for it remsmbles a converted private residence. Yet Arthur G. and Amy Cutler built it as a library in 1937 in memory of his parents, Herman E. and Emma Gilman Cutler. The elder Cutler, a Plainfield farmer and owner of a gristmmill on the Winooski, held local offices and served in the Vermont Legislature. Built on a large lot across from the younger couple's home, the two-story library was the third in the town's history. The Ladies'Circulating library was the first, founded in 1871 with members paying $1 each. Starting out in Dr. D.B. Smith's home, it was later moved to Sullivan Gale's. In the autumn of 1904, the latter's granddaughter, Ella Gale, went around town and collected $20 to buy books for the library. The same year, the library was reorganized and Viola Bemis took over in her home, serving without pay until 1913. The Plainfield Public Library, the second such organization, was started when a favorable vote at the 1913 March meeting accepted the law of 1894. Five trustees were elected and $25 was appropriated. In October, after the state's books were added to the collection, Bemis continued as head of the renamed library which remained in her home until 1932. When she retired after 28 years at age 81, Mrs. Leon O'Dell took over.

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

Peacham Library From the book "Where The Books Are" Written by Patricia W. Belding, Potash Book Publishing Also See: The Peacham Library, a modern Ranch building located in the village, can be reached either by US Route 2 in Danville or by US Route 302 in Groton. Of white clapboard, the building has a simple portico and two bow windows; inside consists of a large open room with work-space in the rear. In 1937, Vermont: A Guide to the Green Mountain State described Peacham: "Smooth-flowing hills, darkened by woodland patches surrounding the village with quiet seclusion, which increases its favor as a summer home for college professors and others seeking rest, quiet, and comfort." In 1795, over 130 years before the above write-up, one of the state's earliest academies, the Caledonia County Grammar School, was established in Peacham. In 1799, the Federal Library, the town's first, was chartered but was short-lived. Debating societies, also known as lyceums, were popular in the early 1800s and the male academy students in Peacham started the Juvenile library Society on August 9, 1810. Since they needed books to prepare papers and arguments, they organized the Juvenile library Association a short time later. In 1816, one member wrote of the weekly meetings: "On the night of the debateusually Fridaythe room was crowdedold people of the town came in and the girls were always there to encourage us."15 Two of the myriad questions argued were: "Ought ladies to speak in public?" and "Are newspapers beneficial to the United States?"
