Overview

The Town officially established its first public library in October 1896, then housed in the back rooms of the old town hall.  Upon his death in 1936, longtime resident Charles Watson Hodge bequeathed the capital to build the Hodge Memorial Library on North Street with a north wing addition completed in 1967. After outgrowing the 1,941-square-foot structure the Town embarked on a major fundraising campaign to construct the 7,500-square-foot Minor Memorial Library, which opened in 1994.  The objectives of the Minor Memorial and Hodge Memorial Library and Museum are to promote and encourage and to serve the needs of the Roxbury Community by providing free access to ideas and information through a diversity of library materials, programs, services, and experiences.
