Swampscott Public Library, children

Photograph is pre-1955, before the first addition was made to the building. The library was built in 1915 on land donated by Elihu Thomson, formerly the site of his tennis courts. On January 20, 1917, the library moved to its present location on Burrill Street.

Photograph is of a young boy sitting in a chair holding a copy of "Hop, skip, and jump" by Dorothy Aldis, published in 1934.
