Fort Wayne debates funding a free public library under school board oversight with Carnegie gifts. A citizens’ committee, aided by the Women’s Club League, pushes tax levy to support a new building and detailed cost estimates for maintenance and book provision.
Library Founding and Early Growth in Fort Wayne
In September 1904 Hoffman was named librarian by the board of school trustees. A public meeting on January 28, 1895, in the council chamber celebrated the library’s opening with Mayor Oakley presiding. The library opened with 2,608 volumes, aided by 1,028 volumes from public school transfers, 247 donated public documents, and 1,414 purchased volumes. It moved in September 1895 to Wayta and Clinlow, reopening October 7, 1865, then to the Dreckenridgs homestead site at Wayne and Webster. Chaco Fowler became Librarian in August 1896, followed by Prins Oclerich two years later.
