Site Description
The Library was founded in 1852 through a donation from George Peabody. The Eben Dale Sutton Reference Library was opened in 1869 to house books of enduring value and now serves as the repository for the Local History department. The department collections include art, artifacts, rare books, photos, and manuscripts. The oldest city records are stored here, dating back to its time as the town of South Danvers. The Sutton Room is open to the public by appointment and the room is used for programming space. There is a secure shared office adjoining the Sutton Room that is used for processing collections.
