Hale and the City of Haverhill. The agreement stipulated that Mr. Hale woulddonate land for a building site and half the money necessary to build and furnish a library if thepeople of Haverhill would donate the other half. He further stipulated that the City, in acceptingthis gift, would establish a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees and assume responsibility for theannual operating expenses of the library. The original library building opened on November 18,1875. In 1965 the Trustees decided to build a new library facility to replace the original building.With pledges from the community, proceeds from the sale of the original building, a federallibrary construction grant, and the fundraising efforts of the Trustees, construction began in 1966and the new library opened in June of 1969. A subsequent renovation project, completed in 1997,increased space for materials, seating, and overall size from 30,500 to 44,000 square feet.ArrangementSeries 1: General Project Information, 1915, 1978-1980, 1989Subseries 1.1: Rules & Regulations for Oral History, 1989Subseries 1.2: Advertisement of Interviews, No DateSubseries 1.3: Complete List of Oral Histories, 1978-1980
