How We Got from There to Here: Nancy Baker and the History of the Lennoxville Library
Thursday, October 1st, 6:30pm
What was the Lennoxville Library like before it was here? And how did it get from a cramped room in the Borough Hall to its present home?
This summer and through Thanksgiving, the Lennoxville Library and Uplands have been part of the Foundresses’ Route / Chemin des bâtisseuses, celebrating women whose vision and determination helped shape our community.
One of those women was Nancy Roberts Baker, who played an important role at the Lennoxville Library in the 1960s and early 1970s. Her work was instrumental in moving the library from its cramped quarters in the Borough Hall to its present location.
Join us for an informal conversation with Jim Baker, Nancy’s son, and Barbara Gosselin, who took over running the library after Mrs. Baker. Together, they’ll share memories and stories about Nancy, the library, and a time of important change in Lennoxville.
