I was really born in 1873 thanks to the generosity of E.J.M. Hale, who provided a lot on which to build a library along with half the cost of a furnished library building. The other half of the costs were raised by the people of Haverhill. Since then, the Board of Trustees has provided the funds for all the library materials, while the city provides funds for the maintence of the facilities and salaries of the staff. The original library building opened in 1875. The current library building was opened in June 1969, and in 1997 the current building was expanded and renovated to the building you know and love today.
Young Adult Librarian Alissa has been here since November of 2004. You can usually find her at the Reference/Information desk or sitting back in the Teen area. She loves to read and is a great resource if you are looking for a new book to read.
Teens at The Library The new Young Adult area was created in the library in 2005 and is still being developed. We are working hard to make the library a cool place for teens, so stop by and check it out! Do you have an opinion- let us know! The Library has a Teen Advisory Board that meets monthly and helps plan all the fun programs the library offers. If you are interested in becoming a member, stop by the Library and speak to Alissa.
