Excerpt from Catalogue of the Public Library of Brookline HE Library, represented in the following catalogue, is believed to have been the first instituted under the general statute, authorizing towns and cities to raise and appropriate money for founding and maintaining public libraries. It was established by a vote of the town, March 30, 1857. The sum of 8934 - being for each ratable poll of the preceding year was appropriated for its foundation; and an additional sum of 8233 being 25 cents for each ratable poll was voted for its maintenance and increase during the then current year. These were the extreme sums which could be legally raised by taxation for the purpose. A suitable place having been provided, the Library was opened to the public, Dec. 2, 1857. It then contained 900 volumes. Liberal appropriations by the town, and generous gifts from private sources, year by year, increased the number of books; and when, in 1869, the present commodious building was completed, at a cost of with shelving for volumes, were placed in the alcoves.
