Winslow Public Library, Winslow, ca. 1980

Contributed by Winslow Historical Preservation Committee

Description

The original Winslow library building, on the east side of Lithgow Street in Winslow, was erected in 1926-27 at a cost of $3,000 on land donated by George Bassett.

Jennie Howard was the first librarian, serving from 1905 to 1933. Her compensation at one time was $52 a year.

Although, the library building still stands and is used by a local genealogical society, the town library was moved to a different location after the devastating Flood of 1987.
