Palmerston Public Library |
Carnegie promise 4 Feb. 1902 |
|
After Palmerston received a Carnegie grant of $10,000 at the beginning of 1902, the town secured a site and construction began on a new library which opened in 1903. The Palmerston building included a large public meeting space and offices for municipal officials. In subsequent years, Carnegie's secretary, James Bertrum, refused to allow these features to be incorporated with a library.
