Description
Watertown Free Public Library has been community based from its earliest days. Solon Whitney was named our first librarian in 1867. Throughout his 50 year career he publicly stated his firm belief that the library belonged to the citizens. This is still our basic belief today. During Whitney’s tenure our 1884 building was constructed. Now that building will be completely renovated with an addition that provides service for the 21st. century.Central to this plan is the concept of Watertown Free Public Library as a Commons where all come to meet and connect in a welcoming, supportive environment. When we open our doors in Summer 2006, Watertown citizens will have a library where they can pursue interests of all kinds—informational, recreational and educational.
