Abstract
The Hammond Public Library was established in 1903 through the efforts of the Shakespeare Club, comprising many of the city’s teachers. It was housed in a Hammond millinery shop. Hammond’s leading citizens donated weighty tomes and magazines of interest to them and their friends. In the beginning, residents had to be recommended for membership and pay a subscription. Their names still exist in the original minutes of the library board.
