History : The earliest Athena Public Library opened its doors on November 18, 1914, with Anna (Mrs. William) Littlejohn as librarian. Early volunteer directors of the library included Mrs. Marvel Watts,
Mrs
F.S.
LeGrow,
Mrs
Henry
Dell,
Mrs.
Anna
Foss,
and
Areta
Barrett.
For
many
years,
the
library
shared
space
with
the
telephone
company
switchboard
in
the
building
next
to
the
bank
--
what
is
now
Somewhere
in
Time.
One
long-time
user
recalls
that
it
was
"dark
and
dreary."
The
present
location's
property
was
deeded
in
1958
under
the
will
of
Vernita
Watts
Adams
and
the
Foster
family
to
the
City
of
Athena
with
the
proviso
that
the
property
always
be
designated
for
library
use,
or
it
would
revert
to
subsequent
heirs.
The
old
library's
front
room
was
built
with
community
donations
and
monies
from
contributions
made
in
memorials
and
in
wills
the
back
room
was
added
with
funding
from
the
Watts
Foundation.
