Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from League of Library Commissions Handbook
New Hampshire followed the next year, 1891, by enact ing a law nearly identical with the Massachusetts law, which gives $100 to each town founding a free library. The New Hampshire Commission was instrumental in passing a compulsory library law, according to which every town must levy a certain assessment to maintain a library; the minimum amount instead of the maximum is prescribed; if the town has no library, the fund accumulates; and if a town wishes to omit an assessment, it must especially vote to do so. In 1903, the Board of Library Commissioners was abolished, and the work turned over to the trustees of the State Library, who have assumed all the duties and powers of the former commission.
