Governor Lynch proclaimed yesterday, April 9, 2008, as
Peterborough Town Library Day in recognition of the founding, 175 years ago, of the
Peterborough Town Library, making it the first publicly funded library. I got to attend the birthday celebration at the library yesterday which included a display about the library's history, speeches, readings and entertainment, a luncheon, a tea, and of course birthday cake. The
Ledger Transcript supported the celebration with a special insert about the
library in Tuesday's paper (4/8/2008).
In his remarks Library Director Michael Price (pictured at right) explained that the Town of Peterborough distinguished itself at town meeting in 1833 by recognizing that the public library, like the public school, deserves to be supported by the town.
