20The Waltham Public Library is the union of three libraries. (1) The Waltham Social Library, founded in 1798, and the earliest Waltham library, was given to the Unitarian Society, and later, in 1865, was presented to the town. (2) The early Boston Manufacturing Company’s Manufacturers’ Library was given to the Rumford Institute Library, which, in turn, offered all its books to the town in 1865. (3) The Agricultural Library of the Waltham Farmers’ Club was presented to the town in 1874. The Public Library was first housed (1865) in the Bank Building on Main street. In 1879 it was moved to the corner of Charles and Moody streets (Welch Block). In December, 1915, the Library was moved to the present building, which is the gift of a Waltham citizen, Francis Buttrick. The cost of the building was $124,000
22There are two Branch Libraries, the South Branch, established in 1919, now located in the South Junior High School Building, and the Lakeview Branch, established in 1925 in the Nahum Hardy School, Lake street
