THE STORY OF A VILLAGE LIBRARY


cents to two hundred dollars. Former residents of the town, who still felt an interest, as well as their descendants, subscribed a like amount, $1,300.00 of which was given by Mr. Francis B. Cooley of Hartford, Connecticut and Mr. Foote of New York City pledged fifty dollars a year during his lifetime for the reading room. So Mr. Whitney's offer of $5,000.00 was more than paired by the Club and what had been a remote possibility was now nearing reality.


Next came the question of location, and in order to secure the most desirable spot, it became necessary to move two houses and take down several buildings. This meant an unexpected expense of more than $1,500.00. But the amount was raised, in 1900 the build- ing was started, completed the following year and opened for use on February 22, 1902.


It would be interesting to know how many now remember the Library corner as it was before that building was started. There was the house on the corner, facing west, where the George Gaines family lived and a huge butternut tree just north of the house. In the rear, and a little to one side, was a large two-story building in the northwest corner of which was the well which now supplies the Library. Farther toward the east were the barns and a large early- apple tree, the delight of all the children. Between the Gaines' house and what is now the Grange Hall stood another house, occupied by the Bruch family and later on by the Charles Thompson family. This was back in 1900 when the automobile was still a curiosity.


In their plans, the architects had to provide for the two-fold use of the building, that of the library proper and the rooms for social purposes. It was desired to have the two features closely connected and, at the same time, arranged so that they could be used independ- ently. This was most happily accomplished and, in addition, provi- sion was made in the basement for a commodious kitchen, pantry and supper room. The building itself, on a foundation of native field stone, is of buff brick with brown stone trimmings, is heated by steam and was originally lighted by a separate acetylene gas plant. This lighting system was changed to electricity when that became available.


Upon its completion, the Library was presented by the Club to the Town which, in return, gave the Club certain privileges. The

HISTORY OF GRANVILLE


Library is open for the taking of books two days each week in the afternoon and every evening except Sunday, as is the reading room. The amusement room at first was open four evenings a week but, with changed conditions, it is now used for other things. Branch libraries were established in the schoolhouses of the outlying dis- tricts with the teachers as custodians, but school consolidation has brought changes. For a time, there were also branch libraries in the village stores in the western part of the town. The annual expense was met about equally by Town and Club until World War II made it impossible to hold the annual fair and supper.


From its beginning, the Club has worked as a unit and although there have been strong individual preferences, they have been sub- ordinated to bring about the greatest final good. There is one regret -that the first Vice-President, Miss Nellie C. Noble, a woman who was untiring in her efforts at a most critical time, one whom all loved for her enthusiastic support, did not live to see the building completed. The work was long and at times disheartening; yet throughout, there was never for an instant the thought of giving up. It was a labor of love which roused interest among young and old alike and is, we hope, but the start of a continuing work of village improvement.


As to the later work of the Club, these are only a few of its more important activities : Since the death of Mr. Foote, the Club has bought and placed in the Library for public use the leading maga- zines and one daily paper. It has also bought various encyclopedias and books of reference especially useful to children in the Grades and in the High School, as well as hundreds of books of general interest.


In 1923, when the lighting was changed from acetylene gas to electricity, more than half the bill was paid by the Club. In 1927, the original roof of wooden shingles leaked so badly that it was replaced by one of slate at a cost of more than $1,300.00, entirely paid for by the Club. From time to time, other repairs have been needed and for these the Club has paid its full share. Also, the Club gave and placed on the Library lawn a steel flag-pole and a large United States flag to fly therefrom.

VILLAGE LIBRARY


THE STORY OF A


In 1945, Mr. William B. Bailey of West Hartford, Connecticut, established a fund of $1,000.00 in memory of his mother, Ellen Bacon Bailey, a Granville woman, the income to be used to purchase books of historical and genealogical interest. This gave the Club the idea of using the former amusement room, which had ceased to be used as such, for an historical exhibit. Granville residents were enthusiastic and either gave or loaned many valuable and interesting articles, which are now on view. The special attendant is paid by the Club.


In June, 1950, the Club celebrated the start of the actual building of the Library by an "open house" for the Town, held at the Library. Refreshments were served and in the evening there was dancing on the lawn, which was made gay with Japanese lanterns. Members of the Club, dressed in costumes of fifty years before, acted as hostesses.


Two years later, in 1952, the Club and the Town joined in a celebration at the Library, honoring Mrs. Mable Root Henry for fifty years of devoted and efficient service as Librarian. The Club presented to her a gold wrist watch and the Town, by individual subscriptions, a substantial cash gift. Also in 1952, the Club placed and lighted a Community Christmas Tree upon the Library lawn- something which it hopes to continue as an annual event.


With the rationing of both food and gasoline in World War II, the Club was forced to discontinue the annual chicken pie supper and fair by which it raised the largest part of its expense money. In consequence, since then the Town has had to pay most of the bills. However, two suppers and fairs have been held, one in 1950 and one in 1952, the money raised being used strictly for Library purposes.


In the days to come, as in the past, the Club hopes to continue its work for the Community, which was the reason for its coming into being and has been its one aim throughout the years.
