About the Library
About The Endicott Free Library
The Endicott Free Library first opened on March 16, 1915, in the Mattoon Hotel building on Washington Avenue, thanks to the efforts of a group of forty residents who raised the necessary funds to establish a free library association. Led by a board of seven trustees, the library quickly became a vital community resource. The circulation for the first nine months of operation was 24,493 books. In an effort to serve the north side of Endicott, the library started one of the northeast’s first bookmobiles in 1916. This innovative service provided books to residents who were unable to visit the library, many of whom were immigrants and skilled craftsmen employed in the local tanneries and factories. The bookmobile was a great success, and it led to the construction of a library on the north side to better serve this population. The Endicott Free Library has evolved over the years, continuing to expand its services and collections to meet the needs of the community. Today, the library remains a vital resource, providing access to a wide range of materials and supporting lifelong learning and community engagement.

Research Guidance
Look for the story behind a result
A family name, a familiar street or a story passed down through generations can lead to a closer look at the history of Endicott. The digital archive shared by the George F Johnson Memorial Library offers a place to begin. When using historical newspapers, try alternate spellings and nearby dates, then read the surrounding page to place a local story in its time. Compare later reporting or another available title to explore different perspectives rather than treating one account as the whole story. Search a person, place, or event with a second term, then compare the date and context of each result. A repeated name needs more evidence before it identifies the same person or connects two parts of a story.
After recording the issue and page, search a second term tied to the result and compare the surrounding dates and accounts. Keep matching names provisional until the place and context fit. This can turn one result into a better question without turning a repeated name into a confirmed story.
Capture the title, date, and page or item location for a detail you may want to revisit. Label your interpretation as your reading, not the source's own words. Keep enough context with the note that another reader can retrace it.

It’s Your Community’s History, So Why Rent Something You Own?
We believe that history belongs to the communities where it was made - not locked behind paywalls or inaccessible due to budget restrictions. Subscription-based services and large content aggregators are generally more concerned with "content" and less concerned with the history that content contains. Their models typically involve a reoccurring charge for a plan that renews annually or licensing agreements with the library based on population served or circulation numbers. You are essentially Renting Access To YOUR History.
