Circulating Library
The Chappell Hill
Circulating Library was
organized in 1893 as a
lending library. William G.
Foote, Jr. started a library
with his collection of fine
books, including those of
his father, Dr. W.G. Foote,
Sr., chair at Soule
University. Many books
from the Chappell Hill
Female College were
donated to the Library
during the school's closing
in 1912.
The present building was erected on Cedar Street in 1911 by the town's Civic Club. Owned and mantained by the Historical Society, the Library houses the original collections and volumes about Texas and Texana.
The charming gazebo and nearby benches create an inviting picnic site. The gazebo is situated on the Library grounds.
