"Cazenovia’s first library opened in 1828...That year, merchant John Williams established a circulating library in his general store...consisting of 200 vols. Miscellaneous works, embracing many of the standard English authors...In 1886, the Cazenovia Library Society was formed; the organization was similar in nature to the companies that established and maintained libraries through membership, lending fees, and gifts...John Williams’ 1830 Greek Revival house, located just down the street from his store, was purchased in 1890 by a well-known Cazenovia benefactor, Robert J. Hubbard. The beautiful building was donated to the Society. In November 1890, the Library was “thrown open to the public” and was fitted with “new bookcases, shelves and other conveniences of the most approved kind.” The circulation room, stacks and reading rooms were set up on the building’s ground floor, while an upstairs room was specifically reserved for natural history specimens, objects of local interest and a collection of Egyptian artifacts."
