The Waltham Public Library is the union of three libraries. (1) The Waltham Social Library, founded in 1798, and the earliest Waltham library, was given to the Unitarian Society, and later, in 1865, was pre- sented to the town. (2) The early Boston Manufacturing Company's Manufacturers' Library was given to the Rumford Institute Library, which, in turn, offered all of its books to the town in 1865. (3) The Agri- cultural Library of the Waltham Farmers' Club was presented to the town in 1874. The Public Library was first housed (1865) in the Bank Building on Main street. In 1879 it was moved to the corner of Charles and Moody streets (Welch Block). In December, 1915, the Library was moved to the present building, which is the gift of a Waltham citizen, Francis Buttrick. The cost of the building was $124,000.


There are five Branch Libraries, the South Branch, established in 1919, located at 56 Chestnut, the Lakeview Branch, established in 1925, in the Nahum Hardy School, the Trapelo Branch, established in 1932, in the Phineas Lawrence School and the Grove Hill Branch, established in 1937, in the Bright School, and the West End Branch, established in 1944 in the Nathaniel P. Banks School.


There are about 130,206 volumes in the Library. About 227 news- papers and periodicals are received. There is also an excellent collec- tion of pictures on every subject, arranged in Classified form, which may be taken from the building. The Library undertakes to help all by supplying information and in looking up difficult reference questions when requested.

The circulation in 1944 was 301,295, an average of 7.5 books per capita. The City appropriates about $47,877 a year for the support of the Library and its Branches. There are in addition eight endowment funds. The Lowell Clark Fund of $5,000; The Enos T Luce Fund of $1,000; The Jacob Whitney Fund of $1,000; The Porter L Newton Edu- cation Fund of $5,000; The Phineas Lawrence Fund of $2,500; The Lorenza Haynes Fund of $1,000 and The Pryor Fulton Fund of $5,000; The Mary J McEvoy Fund of $1,000 and The Mary Pratt Sears Memorial Fund of $21,343; the income alone of which is used.
