The Cambridge of eighteen hundred and ninety-six: a picture of the city and its industries fifty years after its incorporation (ed. Arthur Gilman), The public Library. (search)
anied its removal to a new building. . . . The plan of an addition to the building, with special reference to the needs of the children, was largely hers; she was spared to see its completion, and met her death while placing the new rooms in order. She died literally in harness, as she always wished to die; and her name will be forever associated with the most important formative period of her beloved institution. After Miss Hayward's death the care of the library devolved for several months upon the first assistant, Miss Etta L. Russell, who proved herself altogether competent for it, but declined to be a candidate for the librarianship. Mr. W. R. L. Gifford, of the New Bedford Public Library, was elected to the vacancy, and entered upon his duties in March, 1895. The results of his first year's service indicate that this was a happy choice. The past history of the library is a chapter in her annals of which Cambridge may honestly be proud, and the future is full of promise.
