Building Restoration Fund
Did you know this building has been a library for 104 years and counting? It was built in 1850 as a residence. In 1903, Susana Phelps Gage gave her parent's home to the Village of Morrisville to serve as a library. When we initially opened the doors in December 1903, we had only 760 volumes on our shelves and patrons were only allowed to check out one item at a time. Now, we house over 15,000 items. The building is bursting at the seams!
