The Wadsworth Ella M. Everhard Public Library, in Wadsworth, Ohio, is an independent library serving the city of Wadsworth, Wadsworth Township and parts of Guilford Township in Medina County, Ohio. ==History== The first circulating library in Wadsworth was established by Judge Frederick Brown in 1822, who brought a collection of books with him when he relocated to Ohio from Connecticut. One hundred years later, the Wadsworth Federation of Women's Clubs donated $50 for the establishment of a permanent library. Two hundred books borrowed from the State Library of Ohio were housed in one of the schools. The books were primarily used by students, with the collection being maintained by a committee of the Women's Club. From 1923 until 1925, the library moved from location to location, at one point taking over most of the mayor's office. In 1925, Mrs. Ella M. Everhard paid $17,000 to purchase the Thomas Leiter house. She donated it to the village for use as a public library and a meeting place for Wadsworth's various women's cultural organizations. 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「Wadsworth Public Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
