Public Library, Bellevue Ohio, OH, 1907

 

LIB915327

In 1907, the Bellevue Public Library was a relatively new institution, having been established just a few years earlier in 1903. At that time, the library was located in the Village Hall building, which also housed the town offices and jail.

Despite its small size and limited resources, the library was a popular destination for residents of Bellevue and the surrounding areas. In addition to its collection of books, the library also offered a variety of services, including access to newspapers and magazines, as well as reading rooms where patrons could spend time reading and studying.

Throughout the early 1900s, the Bellevue Public Library continued to grow and expand its services. In 1914, the library moved to a new location in the Lincoln School building, which offered more space and resources for the growing collection.

Today, the Bellevue Public Library continues to serve the community of Bellevue and surrounding areas, offering a wide range of books, resources, and services to its patrons.

Pillsbury Free Library, Warner New Hampshire NH

 

LIB197329

The slate-roofed, brick and granite building was built on a site donated by Nehemiah George Ordway, a native of Warner who had gone west and become Governor of the Dakota Territory. The site was the location of the Kearsarge Hotel which had burned and was considered not worth rebuilding because all the shade trees had burned also.

At the dedication ceremonies on October 2, 1891, George Pillsbury said in his speech it was his wish that “All the people of Warner, young and old, rich and poor alike, may realize therefrom all the benefits that a free public library can give.” History of the Library
