Show Details
Prior to the construction of the library, Ocean Park was served by a small circulating library held by the Educational Bureau. The mission to create a library for Ocean Park was undertaken by the Acquaintance Club, an informal organization of women formed in 1911, who helped to raise funds, secure a lease, and maintain the library until 1952.
The caption reads, "Memorial Library, Ocean Park, Maine."
The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938.
