April 2, 1908

Doing things by the book...in fact, lots of books.
We'll go to Winooski for that story.


 

Winooski got a free public library on this day in 1908. A local resident donated 500 volumes from the Girls' Club and the state donated $100. After many weeks of hard work by the trustees, the library opened in the new Tobey and Lockwood Block.

They had 525 books, and the public loved it. The library was centrally located and enjoyed instant success...so much so, in fact, that merely three years later the collection totalled 2,500 books!

Today's facility is known as the Winooski Memorial Library. After outgrowing various locations, the library has occupied its own building on East Spring Street since 1963.
