Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Guests:
I warmly welcome you to the Dedication of the expanded and renovated Greenville Public Library. Today commemorates a new look for the Library, as well as the Library's one hundred and nine years of continuous service to the Town of Smithfield. On the fifteenth of May in eighteen eighty-two, a few dedicated residents founded the Greenville Library. Little did these residents know that they would also be founding a tradition of service to the community that would continue through many decades by lovers of libraries.
The cover of the Program displays the three major periods of growth of the Library since that founding date. These major changes were always made possible through the generosity and hard work of devoted patrons and friends, such as yourselves.
Today is the culmination of the dreams of the present day Trustees, who perceive a Library as a source of knowledge and culture for their Community. On this day, the Trustees place this expanded and renovated Library in your hands for safe-keeping. Guard it and treasure the knowledge that is contained within its walls, for Public Libraries are one of the last dispensers of free information and insight in the United States.
Flora Leigh-Curry
President, Board of Trustees
