» V. Library Committee records,
1894–1935 [read more]
This series contains eight volumes of meeting records, two volumes of
treasurer's records, and other volumes of the Library Committee, which
sponsored "traveling libraries" of books and pictorial materials to assist
small local libraries of limited means across the state. In 1900, the committee
began publishing a list of "new books recommended for purchase" for small
libraries. The Library Committee also supplied books for clergymen and prisons
and foreign language books for school work. In 1894, the Library Committee was
instrumental in establishing the defunct West Church in Boston as a branch
library of the Boston Public Library system. The Library Committee carried on
some of its work after the dissolution of the WEA until 1935.
