Fiske Free Library

Fiske Free Library Claremont, NH's public library Samuel P. An additional $5,000 was given by Mr. and Mrs. Fiske to establish a permanent trust fund.

Fiske established the Fiske Free Library in 1873 with 2,000 volumes from his personal library and $5,000 for the purchase of additional books. Housed first in Stevens High School, the library moved in 1877 into the Bailey Block with more room and easier access. By 1902 space was again tight and Andrew Carnegie was approached for funding. In 1903, with $15,000 in funding from Carnegie, ground was b

roken for the present building. An addition in 1922 and a full renovation in 1966 expanded the entire building for library use.

"Here’s to the weird ideas writers have, ... to the passionate engagement of readers, and to the novel’s ability to take us in, get us lost, and send us back transformed." -Maile Meloy
