Excerpt from History of the Cambridge Public Library: With the Addresses at the Celebration of Its Fiftieth Anniversary, Lists of Its Officers, Etc

A concise History of the Cambridge Public Library was compiled by Charles Walker, secretary of the board of trustees, and Almira L. Hayward, librarian, and printed by the trustees in 1891; and an article on the Public Library was contributed by Dr. Rolfe to the memorial volume issued in connection with the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the city, and entitled "The Cambridge of Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Six." Portions of the former work have been used, with little or no alteration, in the extended historical sketch prepared for the present volume by Dr. Rolfe, with the co-operation of Mr. Ayer, who has also collected and arranged all the other matter in the book.

The illustrations, including the circulation chart, are reprinted from the Annual Report of the Trustees for 1907.
