==Brunswick Library: early history==
On April 13, 1883 a group of citizens gathered in Skating Rink Hall at Maine and Elm streets to form the Brunswick Library Association.〔Library journal, Volume 10, p. 353〕 By December of that year, a room had been located in the Storer Block downtown, $1,200 was in hand, and Mr. Lyman E. Smith, the treasurer of the Library Association, had been hired as the librarian at a weekly salary of $4.〔Maine register or state year-book and legislative manual, p. 279〕 On February 4, 1884, with about 1,300 books on its shelves, the Brunswick Library opened. A life membership cost $3, and for an annual fee of $1 members could take books out of the library. Any resident could use the library at no cost if books were not taken out.〔http://brunswickmainedaily.blogspot.com/2010/04/curtis-memorial-library.html〕
In March 1884 the town voted to give the library a room in the new Town Hall, rent free, and to provide it with furniture, heat and lighting.〔''A history of the public library in Brunswick, Maine'' by Louise R. Helmreich.〕 A more significant form of assistance came in 1886, after the State Legislature agreed to allow the Town of Brunswick to grant the library an annual subsidy. The legislative act also stated that the library could not be controlled by the town, thereby making the library’s management free of political influence. The library has thus received continuous, and increasing, financial support from the town since 1886 and for many years depended on that support of the bulk of its revenue.〔
