History
| DATE | CHRONOLOGY |
1797 |
The Westford Library originated in this year as a subscription “Social Library,” an institution founded by 25 citizens “willing to promote literature and useful knowledge among ourselves and our families.” The Library was contracted on February 14, 1797. Subscription shares in the Library cost $2.00 each. |
| 1816 | First printed catalogue of 102 titles was produced. |
| 1851 | The Commonwealth of Massachusetts passed a law allowing Towns to appropriate monies for a public library. (Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 78, Section 7.) |
| 1859 | The Proprietors of the Social Library donated their collection of 1300 volumes to the Town, under the following conditions: Said inhabitants shall annually expend in the purchase of books for said Library a sum of money not less than $30.00. Said inhabitants shall furnish and keep in good order a suitable room in the middle of said Westford where said Library shall be kept under the charge of a suitable Librarian. Said inhabitants shall make suitable and proper regulations respecting the preserving, keeping in repair and loaning the books in said library. Whenever said inhabitants shall refuse to make the appropriation before mentioned, said Library shall revert back to said Proprietors or their heirs. |
| 1859-1871 | With no public housing, books were kept in the homes of the librarians during this period: Charles L. Fletcher (1859-1863); Eliza I. Herrick (1863-1869); and Amanda M. Hale (1869-1871). |
| 1871 | With the construction of the Town Hall this year, the Library moved into a public building. The room to the immediate right of the main entrance to the Town Hall was set aside for the Library. Clara M. Wiley (1881-1887) presided over the Library in its years in the Town Hall. The Library had a collection of 3,192 volumes. |
| 1895 | When this “commodious” room in Town Hall became crowded, the Trustees began to suggest the suitability of a larger room or preferably a building, and “hoped that some generous son of Westford might find it in his heart to give such a building.” This was realized when Westford native Jonathan Varnum Fletcher, then residing in Belmont, contributed $14,000 towards a library building; this gift was matched by $5,000 from the Town. |
| 1896 | The new library was dedicated on June 4, 1896, and was named in honor of its benefactor, J. V. Fletcher. At the time of the dedication of this building, Carrie E. Read was the librarian; library holdings had tripled to 9,000 volumes, with a circulation of 14,041 items. |
| 1901 | With the term of Mary P. Bunce, the library literally and metaphorically entered the 20th century. The collection was classified according to the “new” Dewey Decimal System and a card catalog was created. |
| 1908 | The Trustees decided to establish a Children’s Room/Department “in order to encourage the children to make more use of the library and to render it as attractive as possible.” |
| 1910 | Magazines were first allowed to circulate. For many years, books were sent weekly to Forge Village, Graniteville, Parkerville and Brookside. Baskets were left at a store or private home for use by these Town residents. |
| 1915 | Electricity replaced the gaslights. |
| 1918 | May E. Day began her 42-year stay as Westford librarian. She initiated book deposit stations, opened the stack room to adults, and added musical recordings to the collection. |
| 1960 | Alice V. Day became librarian and served in that capacity until 1971. Story Hours began, a Children’s Reading Program took root, and the J. V. Fletcher Library began its affiliation with the Eastern Massachusetts Regional Library System. |
| 1963 | Ms. Marian Winnek, great-granddaughter of J. V. Fletcher, donated funds for a Children’s Room. Existing basement space was converted and renovated for this purpose. |
| 1968-1969 | Extensive renovations were made to the library – main floor rooms were altered, a stack mezzanine was added, the basement was finished and a small addition to the basement area was designed to house an expanded Children’s Department. This renovation was funded by a $27,000.00 LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act), Title II federal construction grant. |
| 1971-1977 | Robert R. Simmons administered the library, expanding library hours to six-day service, and then to seven. The Friends of the J. V. Fletcher Library organized in 1972 and began their annual Used Book Sale. In 1974, the Story Hour Room was redecorated and renamed in honor of the late Judy Proia. The library operated a “Free University” of continuing education and high interest programs. |
| 1977-1984 | Francesca L. Denton’s stay as Director was marked by a grant-funded Bookmobile that was the “M.O.S.T.” – Mobile Outreach Service Team (funded under L. S. C. A. Title I monies). Thanks to a $35,000 C.E.T.A. technical grant, the library began a recataloging and retrospective conversion project preparatory to automating the circulation system and joining a resource-sharing automated network. In 1984, Town Meeting appropriated $12,000 for an initial feasibility study for a modern library addition. |
| 1984 | Ellen Downey Rainville was promoted from Assistant Director to Director. |
| 1985 | Town Meeting approves $169,000 for Working Architectural drawings. |
| 1985 | In June, the library automates its circulation and technical processing departments, as a new member of the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium (MVLC). |
| 1986 | Town Meeting approves land purchase to the rear of the Library and appropriates a $2.28 million bond issue for addition/renovation. |
| 1987 | On April 5, the community participates in a soggy Groundbreaking Ceremony for the new building project. The Library wins the John Cotton Dana Public Relations Award for the slide-tape show “J. V. Fletcher Library…Still Making History.” Additional land is purchased to the rear of the Library lot. |
| 1988 | The Trustees create the Ellen Downey Rainville Continuing Education Fund to award monies to staff members seeking to further their library education and skills. |
| 1988 | Service is suspended from July until mid-October as the dirty and dangerous stages of construction are entered. On October 17, the library reopens to the public. |
| 1989 | The J. V. Fletcher Library is named a grant finalist for a $200,000 Public Library Construction Grant award. The new library is dedicated the evening of May 20, with a Family Open House on May 21. Select areas of the former facility are renamed and rededicated. |
| 1990 | The library staff undergoes reclassification and upgrade; the library divides into specialized divisions to provide quality service to the community. |
| 1991 | Initiation of “Fathertimes”, a monthly bedtime story time quickly became a library favorite. The bookmobile circulated over 10,000 items during its 500 stops. The Library received first prize in Massachusetts for the summer reading program “Along the Moccasin Trail” and the Library and Friends group presented “Murder in the Library,” a cocktail party murder mystery featuring town officials. |
| 1992 | This year saw the introduction of an electronic card catalog as well as a microfilm/microfiche reader, a CD-ROM workstation and multiple library databases. Library Director Ellen Rainville was chosen as one of 32 librarians from three countries to participate in the Library Leadership Institute. The library received a $5,000 collection development grant. |
| 1993 | Another “Murder in the Library” program entertained community members. The Library experienced ice dams and extensive flooding in the Meeting Room and ground floor common areas. Director Rainville was chosen President of the Massachusetts Library Association. The library won the coveted “Roudenbowl.” A $60,000 payment for the Library Improvement Act was received in addition to a $5,000 collection development grant. |
| 1994 | The library reached fourth highest level of circulation in the MVLC, in part due to providing a multitude of programs for young and old, and providing new technologies along with the restoration of full Saturday hours. The growing Westford population continues to challenge interlibrary loan and programming, and increase the potential for additional hours. |
| 1995 | A restored budget allowed circulation to increase 56%. The library parking lot was extended to sixty spaces and the Main Floor carpet was replaced. In anticipation of the building’s 100th anniversary a Centennial Celebration Committee began planning. The library received a $3,000 LSCA grant to survey the historical collection. The Rossi family donated a Young Chang studio upright piano and a quilted wall hanging in memory of K. Evelyn Rossi. “Star-Trik” was the latest adult murder mystery program enjoyed by many. |
| 1996 | Three hundred Victorian garbed guests attended the Library Gala dinner dance on June 1, 1996 and were treated to music, dancing, speeches, an elegant dinner, ice sculptures, mirth and a full moon. The bells of First Parish Church United were rung one hundred times at midnight. Sunday festivities were family oriented and featured a Barbershop Quartet in addition to music provided by the Westford Academy Band. Attendees were treated to cookies, popcorn and lemonade. |
| 1997 | February marked the 200th anniversary of the town’s Social Library and was irreverently celebrated with a Mardi Gras Murder Mystery.

Director Rainville was elected to Vice-President/President elect of the newly formed Northeast Massachusetts Regional Library System. |
| 1998 | A technology plan was created in anticipation of Y2K. Representative Geoff Hall was the recipient of the Library Advocacy Award for his unstinting support of library legislation over the years.

Two copies of each image were created by the Northeast Document Conservation Center with one copy for the Westford Museum and one for the J.V. Fletcher Library. |
| 2000 | Technology advances continued to transform library services. In the fall, a new town-funded Bookmobile came to the library with Maureen Barry continuing at its helm. Working with the Town Clerk and the Westford Museum, the Library was awarded a $6,600 grant from the Massachusetts Document Heritage Program for a collaborative survey of historic materials throughout the town of Westford. |
| 2001-2002 | Space continued to be an overriding concern. Collections were rearranged as interior painting took place. The snowy Apple Blossom parade kicked off the Summer Reading program, which had 1,880 participants. The library received two grants totaling $8,000 from NMRLS. The Friends of the J.V. Fletcher Library augmented town funds so we could meet minimal mandated service levels. |
| 2003 | This was a record breaking year for the library with total circulation over 318,000. The Friends of the Library provided funds to be open on Sundays from January through April in addition to providing new signage and shelving for Juvenile, Young Adult and Fine Arts departments. |
| 2004 | After a bilingual survey of over 100 persons, a Chinese language collection was added. The library sponsored Link to Literacy program continued to grow. Thanks to funding of $19,380 from the Community Preservation Act the library’s front Victorian façade was cleaned and restored. Memorial donations honoring Veronica Whitehouse were put towards constructing a silent study space on the mezzanine. |
| 2005 | The library was tied in to the shared municipal sewage treatment plant behind the Abbot School. Library technology was upgraded in anticipation of Merrimack Valley Library Consortium’s move to a new software release in late August. Two failed heat pumps were replaced and the Board of Trustees matched the expenditure by paying for a new energy management system to control the boilers, heat pumps and radiant heat systems. |
| 2006 | Cub Scout Pack 95 donated $1,200 to start a circulating CD-ROM collection. Kathleen Hutchins, Head of Youth Services, secured a $10,000 Mother Goose on the Loose grant. Kristina Leedberg, Head of Reference, was chosen to participate in the Library Leadership Institute. |
| 2007 | Funding was restored for Sunday hours by the Library Friends Advocacy campaign. Grant funds were received to enhance the Large Print collection.

This took place in the ground floor Meeting Room, lower hallway, Fine Arts area and main floor Reference area.

The brand and logo for the library created by Extra Mile Design was implemented on all flyers, banners, bookmarks, brochures and rack cards. |
