History: The throwing wide of the doors of the James V. Brown Memorial Library to the public, on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, will be one of the most significant annals
of
Williamsport.
For
the
first
time
in
the
history
of
the
city
the
public
will
be
offered
opportunities
for
educational
development,
through
the
medium
of
the
best
books
obtainable.
The
thousands
of
volumes
in
the
James
V.
Brown
Library
furnish
information
on
every
subject
worth
knowing
about,
and
all
are
at
the
disposal
of
those
who
would
read
and
learn."
The
Brown
Library
was
a
bequest
to
the
city
from
lumber
baron
and
philanthropist
James
VanDuzee
Brown
who
died
on
December
8,
1904,
at
age
78.
Already
a
widower
with
no
children,
Brown
had
dreamt
for
years
of
giving
Williamsport
a
free,
public
library.
The
idea
for
the
library
was
suggested
by
his
late
wife,
Carile
Brown.
During
the
next
several
years
the
Brown
Library's
services
expanded
to
include
branches
and
reading
stations
in
Montoursville,
Newberry,
and
other
city
locations.
By
1920
a
library
tax
was
established
to
finance
the
needs
of
the
library
and
its
users,
as
Mr.
Brown's
annual
endowment
of
$10,
000
for
purchasing
new
books
and
materials
was
not
enough
to
keep
up
with
the
demand.
