November 24,1964 ! With my St.Alexander's class at the old Fonthill Library on Canboro Road. Opened in this building in 1897, it was located on the south side at the base of Canboro Road-or 'The Front Hill' as we used to call it back then ( Church Street was the 'Back Hill'). Mrs.Turnbull was the new librarian,replacing the recently retired Miss Inez Carter who had been the librarian since 1915. When Miss Carter said "I expect to be able to hear a pin drop in here"...you could! The Fonthill Library was moved in late 1965 into the lower floor of what is now the Municipal Building,the lovely old library building was sold to Dr.Jordan who demolished it to build a garage for his residence.
