Synopsis

A bright dedication day for Norton’s public library, told through the voices of local leaders. This volume presents the memorable 1888 ceremony, the building’s design, and the town’s pride in a free public library as a new civic pillar.

Styled as a historical report, the book recounts the program, the architecture, and the spirit of partnership that brought a modern library to Norton, Massachusetts. It captures the mood of the crowd, the speeches, and the generous gift that made the project possible, along with the practical details of the building and its rooms.

• A vivid description of the library site, facade, and interior rooms.


• Accounts of the dedication program, including music, addresses, and readings.


• The generous gift from Mrs. Eliza B. Wheaton and its significance for the town.


• Remarks on how the library fits into Norton’s schools, churches, and civic life.

Ideal for readers of local history, civic memory, and the story of library foundations in small-town America.
