About
(from the Grand Opening program September 17-24, 1982)
The existence of Sparta’s library capsules American History, its roots reaching back to Civil War days when a gentleman could buy a $5 share of stock in the “Young Men’s Library Association” (and make a security deposit when borrowing a book!).
Then, on May 7, 1874, by Village Council resolution, Sparta became the first Wisconsin community to take advantage of a newly passed statute enabling villages and cities to establish free public libraries.
