Description:Excerpt from The Fobes Memorial Library, Oakham, Massachusetts: With the Addresses at the Laying of the Corner-Stone and at the Dedication; Prepared at the Request of the Library Building Committee Perhaps no movement in the history of the town of Oakham has equaled in importance that which resulted in the erection of the Fobes Memorial Library. It is due to the donors of the building, and also to the town, that a permanent record of the events connected with the erection and dedication of this Library should be made. The Building Committee, at a meeting held in the new reading room on Wednesday, September 2, 1908, voted to request me to prepare and publish, at my convenience, the addresses at the laying of the corner-stone, and at the dedication, together with some account of the building, and the gifts received for library purposes. I have considered it a privilege to render this service to the town to whose good influences I owe so much. Great care has been taken to make the historical part accurate in all details. Numerous footnotes have been introduced, and copies of some original documents will be found among the Addenda. The three papers by Mr. Shaw, Dr. Tappan, and Dr. Peloubet, on pages 65-86, must be valuable to any librarian whose chief aim is to make his library serve, in the best possible way, the people of the town in which it is located. I acknowledge my obligations to the many who have helped me, and especially to Miss Emily K. Fobes, who, with untiring patience, has searched records and papers in Worcester for items about the early history of Oakham.
