About this book
Beginnings Of The Wayland Library
Author: Wayland Free Public Library Trustees
Year: 1878
This compilation was glued into a book, presumably by a library trustee. It offers printed documents, handwritten notes, and letters pertaining to establishing the Wayland Free Public Library in 1848. It includes a pamphlet showing John Burt Wight's role in establishing free public libraries in Massachusetts. Notes are written on Francis Wayland's offer of $500 for a library followed by the signatures and amounts given by residents to match his gift (according to Wayland's stipulation for the gift). An account of the reception honoring Francis Wayland is offered , including a transcription of the speech given by John Burt Wight at the event. Brief notes are also included on the Wayland School District Libraries, East Sudbury Social Library, and East Sudbury Charitable Library.
