Excerpted from the website:
- About the Library
- The first official Board of Library Trustees in Agawam was elected in 1890, although there had been small private and school libraries in town since 1822. In September 1890 books were received from the State Library Commission, and by October, libraries were opened in three areas of Town. By March 1892 the total number of books in all libraries was 700, the number of registered borrowers was 264 and total circulation was 2,013. Although each section of Town had a separate library, services at each facility were available to all residents.
