In 1926 the citizens of West Newton pre- sented to the City a new branch library build- ing and grounds, valued at over $62,000, and in January 1928 the citizens of Newton Centre and Auburndale gave new buildings and land, valued at about $63,000 and $52,000 respec- tively. In 1930, the citizens of Waban pre- sented to the City a new branch building valued with grounds at $75,000. Three branches are housed in public school build- ings, one in rented quarters, and one in a remodelled engine house. In 1934, the resi- dence of the late John C Chaffin, 124 Vernon st, acquired by the city in 1930, was re- modelled for "The Boys' and Girls' Library".
