The building, a gift to the town by respected former resident George Grosvenor Tarbell, was completed in 1884 to house a collection of books that began with a bequest from Mrs. Eliza Farrar. The speeches delivered by Mr. Tarbell, Samuel Hartwell, William Wheeler, and Hon. George Hoar on the day of the dedication detail the history of the libraryâs beginnings and its significance as a vital resource for the entire community. The speakers emphasize the transformative power of local, democratic institutions like libraries, schools, and churches in fostering a culture of knowledge and civic engagement. This book captures a moment in time when the people of Lincoln recognized the importance of preserving their history and empowering future generations with access to information and education. It illuminates the enduring role of libraries as cornerstones of a democratic and engaged society.
