Excerpt from Dedication of the Hall Memorial Library, at Ellington, Conn;, Nov; 11th, 1903

It is proper that this Memorial Souvenir of the dedication exercises of the Hall Memorial Library in Ellington should be preceded by a short introductory account of the purpose of Mr. Francis Hall, the donor, in erecting and giving the library to his native town.

A strong filial and fraternal feeling, inspired also with a loyal remembrance of Ellington, the place of his boyhood and edu cation - from which he began the establishment of his chosen avocation of a book-seller - led him to devise this library as the most fitting tribute to them all. The result of his deter mination and generous labors is the beautiful building which stands in the center of the town, facing the public park. It was not an investment, but a token of love - a free public library.
