Peabody Township Library, also known under the older name of Peabody Township Carnegie Library, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1987. It is located in the Downtown Historic District of Peabody, Kansas, United States. ==History== In 1875, the original library was constructed. The library was useful but within a few decades of use had become too small. A committee of the Commercial Club, applied for a Carnegie library grant, and by the spring of 1913, the Carnegie Corporation had agreed to a grant of $10,000. The building plan agreed upon will resemble that of the Carnegie library of Galena, Illinois. The original library building was moved to the Peabody City Park, and the new Carnegie library was built on its site. On April 18, 1914, the doors were open to the public.〔(Peabody Township Library history )〕〔(Articles from Peabody Gazette-Herald from 1913 to 1914. )〕 Later, the original library was moved again and became the Peabody Historical Library Museum. Since 2008, two computers have been available for high-speed T1 internet access, and free WiFi access allow patrons to browse the internet. The library is a member of the (North Central Kansas Libraries System ), which provides an inter-library book loan service between its members. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peabody Township Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
