SHREWSBURY, MA.
The origins of the Shrewsbury Public Library go back to the late 18th century. A social library was established in 1792 by a group of town fathers. At a town meeting on June 22, 1872, the meeting voted to provide a room for a public library in the Town House. The proprietors of the social library generously donated 152 volumes, all that remained in the older social library, to the new library – they are presently found in the Ward Room, our rare books and local history room.
