Free Library
Bring a little Northborough home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A book, a pen and a page of work are ready on the desk, with the small plaque set nearby where there is time to notice its picture. Three large front arches distinguish Northborough's Free Library, giving a community place for books an entrance you can recognize in the picture.
Northborough's Free Library was dedicated on June 12, 1895, as the source caption records. A photograph published in 1921 shows its three large front arches. The building gives the town's reading history a visible home, with its distinctive entrance at the center of this interpretation.
The library brings the town's reading history into daily surroundings. Make room beside the pen cup or books, keeping the small display within reach of an ordinary day's work at home.
