“THE LIBRARY was founded in 1886 and on account of the active interest taken in it by her; it was called the “Marion Skidmore Library.” During the fourteen years of its existence it has been continually added to. The Association has continually made appropriations in its behalf, entertainments have been given for its benefit and hundreds of volumes have been donated by friends. It now comprises between twelve and thirteen hundred bound volumes, besides magazines, papers, etc., not bound. It has many rare books, including bound volumes of some of the earliest Spiritualist newspapers. It is located in Library Hall and is always in charge of a competent librarian."
