History
The Concord Free Public Library was founded by Concord native William Munroe, son of the famed pencil-maker. Munroe worked with other prominent members of Concord to form a Board of Trustees that would provide financial backing for the library. Building plans were commissioned by Boston firm Snell and Gregerson. The land was purchased in 1869, and construction began in 1872. The library was dedicated on October 1, 1873.
The Fowler branch of the Concord Free Public Library, designed by architect Harry Little, was dedicated on May 18, 1930.
