The Dover Public Library, Locust St., a Carnegie Library built in 1905 of
brick and limestone, had its beginnings in a Library Society in 1792, the first
social library in the State. Today as a part of its collection of 50,000
volumes, it has 4000 belonging to this Society. On the second floor
is a Collection of Genealogical and Historical Material compiled by Miss
Carolina Garland, its first librarian, some fine Audubon plates, and a
collection of old local photographs. - New Hampshire: A Guide to the
Granite State, 1938, Dover section, pg 145.
The library had an extensive expansion in 1988 however the appearance of the
original Carnegie Library was retained. The library building continues to
serve the community of Dover, New Hampshire
