Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 3., Medford in the War of the Revolution. (search)

In many towns the public library was an outgrowth of the district-school library, which by an act of the Legislature of 1837 the school districts were authorized to establish for the use of common schools, provided a certain amount of money should be raised by the town. In looking through the Town Records I find, Nov. 14, 1842, that it was voted to appropriat
