We celebrate Women’s History Month and Cook Library’s Centennial by looking at the women who were key to the founding of the library and its early days.
Local History Librarian Jenny Barry shares the stories of Emily Barrows Cook, Mabel MacGuffin, Norma Lee Peck, Clara Colby, Laura Taylor, August Lovell, and more.
Keep checking the library’s Centennial Celebration page to stay updated on the festivities!
