Mark Skinner Library, Manchester, Vermont by Various Authors. This volume collects the proceedings from the opening of the Mark Skinner Library in Manchester, Vermont, on July 7, 1897. It documents the dedication ceremonies, prayers, speeches, music, and poetry that accompanied the library’s inauguration, including remarks by Rev. P. S. Pratt, Judge Loveland Munson, and Hon. Edward S. Isham, along with a poem by Sallie Norcliffe Cleghorn. The book also contains the incorporation act, the deed of gift establishing the library with roughly 12,000 volumes, and the organizational framework for its governance. Interwoven are biographical passages about Mark Skinner—the town’s namesake and a prominent Chicago lawyer and philanthropist—detailing his public service, civic contributions, and enduring impact on libraries, cemeteries, and educational institutions. The text serves as a historical record of late-19th-century library philanthropy, community building, and the enduring belief in libraries as centers for learning and moral improvement.
