M. L. MASON, WM. WESTON, JR.
REPORT STEPHENSON MEMORIAL LIBRARY TRUSTEES.
To the Citizens and Voters of the Town of Greenfield :
There is no more enduring thing, as human matters are accounted, than the free public library, and he who puts his name over its portals, either as founder or as benefactor, has built for himself a more graceful and a more enduring monu- ment than any that his heirs can erect in any cemetery though they pile granite skywards or with its foundation cover a rood of ground and so, despite all modest protests, in the far-off years when we shall have gone to our rest and the young life of other generations shall cluster around yon delivery desk, haply some one may ask, "Where is the resting place of him who in the long ago planned for us so wisely and so well, that we may at least stand in the shadow of his monument and do him honor ?"
And the answer shall come over seas from the silent Crypt of St. Paul's where rest the remains of its great architect, Sir Christopher Wren : "Si monumentum quaeris circumspice "- " If you seek a monument look about you "-and the spontane- ous tribute of grateful hearts shall rise like incense, and hallow all the place.
It seems unnecessary to take time and space to rehearse our troubles and recall to your minds the obstacles which have been placed in our paths. Every citizen knows them by heart.
We just want to say we have received and handled the funds which have been placed in our trust to the best of our ability and with a desire to make every dollar of it go where it would do the most good. We feel we have had the sup- port of a large number of our citizens in our undertaking and we want right here to thank those who have contributed a helping hand in the grading, the ladies who served the dinner and again thank those who in the kindness of their heart aided in the furnishing of the building.
32
Your committee has been unable to come to a satisfactory decision as to what lighting system is best for our library, and will hold in their hands the balance of cash on hand until the system is settled upon, at which time they will pass the same to the proper authorities.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Greenfield :
It only remains for the building committee to surrender its trust and responsibilities by turning over to the authorities of the town the deed of the property, which we hold in our hands, together with the keys which give the people free access to the building and its treasures. Guard it well, and may the town be indulgent and liberal to this child of its old age, so making its future career of enlarged opportunity and increased usefulness tell upon the generations following. " That our sons may in their youth be as plants grown up, and that our daughters may be as corner stones polished after the similitude of a palace."
