Deerfield Town Reports

The Library has copies of Deerfield Town Reports beginning with 1889 and ending with the 2010 report, just published. The 1895 Report of Library Trustees states that the Library was open throughout the year with the exception of two weeks when it was closed for repair of books. That year, twenty-two new volumes were placed on the shelves.  The same report also lists the dogs licensed in Deerfield.. Prince, Jack, Rover and Skip were among the most popular names and the unusual were Dandy Dude, Robert Bruce, Muldoon, Grover Cleveland, Growler and Racket. The 2010 report is available for free in the Library foyer and at town hall on Conway Street.
