Anne Kail, our Oxford-based Sales Director, recently visited the Credo office in Boston, then spent a few days exploring New England. One place she stopped was Credo subscriber Brewster Ladies’ Library, in Brewster, MA.
The Brewster Ladies’ Library is a beautiful public library on Cape Cod, with an interesting history. It was founded in 1853 as a private subscription library in the home of Captain Mayo, a successful sea captain. The library is still located in the original building that was constructed in 1868. The Brewster Ladies’ Library eventually came to be the public library for the town of Brewster, but even today, it receives 30% of its budget from the Brewster Ladies’ Library Association. You can read more about the history of the library, and the evolution of their building, here: http://www.brewsterladieslibrary.org/about/history.php
