History:
The
roots
of
Webster¿¿¿s
public
library
date
back
to
1863
when
the
Young
People¿¿¿s
Library
Association
began
work
towards
establishing
a
¿¿¿public
library
system¿¿¿
for
the
town.
A
private
Webster
Library
Association,
with
Chester
C.
Corbin
as
an
incorporator,
was
formed
in
1867,
and
non-members
were
allowed
borrowing
privileges
by
1875.
At
the
1889
Town
Meeting,
the
Free
Public
Library
was
established
with
an
appropriation
of
$1500.
In
1917,
Augusta
E.
Corbin
bequeathed
a
large
sum
to
the
town
for
the
purpose
of
building
and
maintaining
a
public
library
in
memory
of
her
husband.
Land
was
acquired
in
1919,
construction
began
in
1920,
and
the
building
opened
to
the
public
on
July
30,
1921.
The
building
was
designed
by
the
prestigious
New
York
architectural
firm
of
Tilton
&
Githens.
With
the
exception
of
an
elevator
installed
in
1998
and
a
new
roof
in
2003,
no
major
structural
improvements
have
been
made.
