The Hodge Memorial Library was founded in 1896 and continued to operate
in its original location in the stone building in the center of Roxbury
until 1995. At present, the "Hodge" is a museum open to the
public by appointment only. The Minor Memorial Library opened at 23 South
Street in 1995. The objectives of the Minor Memorial and Hodge Memorial
Library and Museum are to promote and encourage and to serve the needs
of the Roxbury Community by providing free access to ideas and information
through a diversity of library materials, programs, services and experiences.

Friends of the Library
The Friends of the Library was founded in 1989 to support and promote
library services and activities. The Friends raise money to supplement
the library budget through a yearly membership campaign and special events,
such as the book sale that takes place each June. During the past year,
the Friends have contributed generously towards the library's book budget
and automation fund. In addition, they purchased a new computer, co-sponsored
a book discussion group and provided refreshments for all the art show
openings. Their newsletter, Bookmark, is published quarterly and is mailed
to Roxbury residents. To join the Friends, mail a donation to Friends
of the Roxbury Library, P.O. Box 74, Roxbury, CT 06783.
