About the Library

The Holbrook Public Library
was created by an endowment
from Elisha Niles Holbrook at
the incorporation of the
town in 1872. The original
Library was located in the
Town Hall, where Zenas
Aaron French served as the
first librarian from the opening
of the Library in 1874 until 1920.
The present Library was built
on property donated to the
town by Linda M. French
in memory of her father Zenas.
The new building was opened
in 1967, when the children
of the town helped to move
the collection by forming
a human chain across the
Holbrook Square and passing
the books to their new location.
