Oscar Foss Memorial Library - A Timeline

• 1917 - Library donated to the town by Sarah Foss in memory of her late husband, Oscar Foss, a Barnstead businessman and lumber dealer. The library shared space with the Town offices.
• 1979 - The Town offices moved across the street and the library was expanded and renovated.
• 1986 - Placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
• 1998 - Building committee was formed to study the needs of the growing community and plans to expand.
• 2000 - Exactly 83 years after its original dedication, the library reopened its doors with a 3,600 square foot expansion.

Today, the staff and trustees of the Oscar Foss Memorial Library look forward to continuing to meet the needs of the community for the next 83 years and beyond.
