Link to November 28 Marshfield News-Herald column by Library Director Vicky Calmes, "It's a party and you're invited to Colby library".Excerpt: It was in December 1879, six years after the city was formed, that a donation of $200 was given by visiting railroad officials to form a library. The office of Attorney C.F. Grow housed the collection, which only could be used by village of Colby residents. The following rule was established: The librarian shall have full charge of the library. In 1889, the Niagara Chorus Club formed to set up a reading program for young people.
