Alliance Public Library opens at Alliance High
School
|
| The first "regularly organized systematically
conducted public library" opened on September 13, 1900 in Alliance
High School. The library was open from 2-5 p.m. Books could be checked
out for 2 weeks and renewed for an additional 2 weeks by any resident of
Alliance. |
 |
| Alliance High School was originally Alliance
College. The building was designed by Simeon Porter, the designer of
Chapman Hall at Mount Union College. It was built in the late 1860s on
East Broadway and demolished in 1910 to make room for a new high school
next to the Carnegie Library building. |
