Peavey Memorial Library
Peavey Memorial Library is an historic public library in downtown Eastport, Maine, United States. Built in 1893, it was named for Albert Peavey, an Eastport resident whose son, Frank Peavey, left Eastport and eventually owned a major grain company in Minnesota in the late 1800s. Frank Peavey left money to Eastport for the establishment of the Peavey Memorial Library in his father's honor.[1]
Note: This brief entry barely describes this lovely building and the book-delights and other information services it provides. I'm a patron, writing on a cold day in January. There is a gas fireplace alight, giving off a homey warmth, and there are two big leather chairs sitting in front of it. In one a gentleman reads the newspaper. The other is empty and when I get off this machine, I may fill it. I will settle down with The New York Times and enjoy perfect bliss. A Happy Patron
