Decked out in a turn of the (20th) century gown, hat, and long gloves, librarian Betty Rood was among one of many staffers to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Henniker’s (NH) Tucker Library this past weekend.
Although several attempts to start a town library failed before 1904, things finally pulled together when a resident of nearby Bradford, George Tucker, took matters in hand and donated the funds for the books, and another resident, Henry Emerson, donated a parcel of land.
The rest…shall we say…is history.
