Dorcas Carey Public Library, Carey, Ohio

Several months ago a Carey/Cary Family member informed the editor that a “Carey-related” postcard was available on eBay The card, as shown, is entitled Carnegie Library, Carey, Ohio. [Published (no date) by Miller & McNeil,Carey; on the reverse side ‘Place One Cent Stamp Here’]

Sandy Thomas, staff member, Dorcas Carey Free Library, responded to our inquiry about the history of the library. According to a memo of ‘March 27th 1905’, Edwin Brown, Mayor of Carey, promised to pay the “Trustees of said Dorcas Carey Public Library the sum of Five Thousand ($5000.00) Dollars” . The Trustees received $8,000. from a fund for libraries, established by Andrew Carnegie. The Village of Carey committed “a yearly sum for the maintenance of said Library of not less than Eight Hundred ($800.00) Dollars.” The library was named after Mr. Brown’s wife's (Cinderella) mother, Dorcas (wife of Judge John Carey, founder of Carey).

Sandy also sent a copy of the same card, postmarked Oct. 18,

1906, addressed to Mr. J. H. Jacoby, Alvada, Ohio, with a message “Hello, Joe, and how are you. I’m still among the living after attending church so often…I want to see this building dedicated…going to Carey in the evening. I’ll be there if it doesn’t rain.”

The program was entitled Dedication of the Dorcas Carey Public Library at Snyder’s Opera House, Friday, October nineteenth, One thousand nine hundred and six, Carey, Ohio. At 1:30 o’clock an assembly of Carey Public Schools occurred, with children “marching from the schools in charge of the teachers.” Rev. Olive spoke on’The Library as an Influence in Character Building’, in addition to other library-related topics. The 7:30 dedication included “The Power of Good Books” by Rev. Bowers and “The Public Library in Relation to the Citizen” by Homer Thrall. The program reflected that the dedication was a major event in Carey! The Editor
