Crandall Public Library records, 1892-2000.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155418102

Most of the records cover the administration of Director Christine McDonald since 1979. However, a significant portion of the records document the earliest years of Crandall Library: minutes and related records of the Board of Trustees from 1892, scrapbooks beginning in 1894, annual reports of the Librarian or Director to the Board of Trustees after 1918, annual reports submitted to the New York State Education Department from 1923, financial records, statistical reports from 1892-1908 and after 1940, the 1893 charter, and numerous blueprints of the 1931 library building and the 1970 addition. Some early records of the Friends of Crandall Library date from 1951-1952, but most are from after 1970.
