Cordially invite you to celebrate
The Centennial of Salem Carnegie Library building
At an Open House on

The Salem Public Library was founded in 1895. Ten years later, on =
September 1, 1905, the Salem Carnegie library opened. The Salem Daily =
News reported that 500 persons attended the dedication ceremony. Dr. =
Sylvester F. Scovel, former president of Wooster University and keynote =
speaker, said, =93The library is the symbol and basis of all growth and =
advancement. The library, indicative of the compass of the human mind, =
is a veritable Aladdin=92s cave of gems.=94 Library Board of Trustees =
President F. J. Mullins referred to the library =93as a great storage =
place of ideas; a potent means of intellectual, moral and spiritual =
uplifting.=94
=20
We strive to meet those expectations by providing the best materials, =
innovative services and technologies, and a highly trained staff =
responsive to the changing needs and interests of library patrons. More =
than 13,750,000 items have been borrowed over the past century. We =
believe Mr. Carnegie was keenly aware of his potential impact in the =
world when he wrote, =93I believe a library outranks any other thing a =
community can do to benefit its people. It is the never failing spring =
in the desert.=94
=20
Free public libraries are essential to democracy. Nowhere else is =
information representing all viewpoints on any topic freely available to =
all who seek it. We invite everyone to join us in honoring and =
commemorating Mr. Carnegie=92s rich legacy.
