The Jonathan Bourne Public Library (est. 1891) is a public library in Bourne, Massachusetts.〔http://mblc.state.ma.us/libraries/directory/index.php Retrieved 05-18-2010〕 Prior to 1891, the town lacked a public library.〔"There is no library in the town of Bourne." Cf. First Report of the Free Public Library Commission of Massachusetts. 1891; p.30.〕 The Bourne library was named in honor of Jonathan Bourne (1811-1889), who was a New Bedford alderman, major investor in the whaling business,〔John Clark Rand. One of a thousand: a series of biographical sketches of one thousand representative men resident in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, A.D. 1888-'89. First national publishing company, 1890; p.66-67〕 member of executive councils of Massachusetts governors George D. Robinson and Oliver Ames, and namesake of the town of Bourne.〔Elias Nason, George Jones Varney. A gazetteer of the state of Massachusetts, rev. ed. B.B. Russell, 1890; p.190.〕 Bourne's daughter, Emily Howland Bourne, donated the library's original building in 1897.〔His son, Jonathan Bourne, Jr. was a senator in Oregon in the early 20th century〕〔(Report of the Free Public Library Commission of Massachusetts ). 1899.〕 The 1897 building, located at 30 Keene Street, served as the library until 1984. During those years, space was on a number of occasions an issue, and the building was repeatedly modified to make room for more books and services. In 1984 the library was moved to the former Bourne Grammar School at 19 Sandwich Road. The old building has been repurposed as the Jonathan Bourne Historical Center, housing town archives and the local historic society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Jonathan Bourne Public Library )〕 ==See also==
