Westerville Public Library
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Our History
- From its beginnings on the first floor of the residence of temperance leader Purley Baker, the Westerville Public Library has been dedicated to meeting the expanding needs of the community. On December 15, 1930, the library opened in the "Baker House" at 131 West Park Street with Cora Bailey as Librarian, and within several weeks it contained 3,062 volumes and 885 registered borrowers. Within two years, increased books and patrons created the need to move to the second floor of the municipal building which is today a part of the municipal complex on State Street. The library's newly remodeled three rooms included four tables in the main reading room, a "junior" reading room, and a room for processing and repairing books. By 1946, lack of physical space again became a tremendous problem. Books were stacked on radiators and window sills, a high school annex was added and the Masonic Temple was used for storage of over 6,000 volumes.
