Review & FAQ:
The Peterborough Town Library is the result of an 1833 town meeting, during which the residents of Peterborough in New Hampshire made a decision that a “pursuit of knowledge” was so important of a civic good that they would pay for a library “in perpetuity.” This “free public library” was established and became the world’s first library to be entirely “supported by taxation.” The permanent home of the Peterborough Town Library was constructed in 1893, housing a growing collection of books. In 1914, an elegant portico was built and the town library has expanded even more since then.
