<p>The <b>Jones Library</b> of <a href="Amherst%2C_Massachusetts" title="Amherst, Massachusetts">Amherst, Massachusetts</a> is a <a href="Public_library" title="Public library">public library</a> with three locations, the main building and two branches. The library was established in 1919 by a fund set up in the will of <a href="Logging" title="Logging">lumberman</a> Samuel Minot Jones.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

The library is governed by a board of trustees and provides a range of library materials, electronic resources, programming, special collections and events for residents of Amherst and the surrounding area.

The library is on the Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations’ Literary Landmark Register in recognition of its association with poet <a href="Robert_Frost" title="Robert Frost">Robert Frost</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Samuel Minot Jones was a <a href="American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">Civil War</a> soldier and lumber trader whose family had lived in Amherst since 1839. Although he spent most of his own life in <a href="Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> and <a href="New_Jersey" title="New Jersey">New Jersey</a>, he retained an attachment to Amherst and particularly to <a href="Amity_Street" title="Amity Street">Amity Street</a>, the location of his childhood home. In his 1905 will, Jones laid out a provision that should “no child survive me or all die before the age of twenty-one years,” the money willed to his children should instead go to the town of Amherst to fund a free public library. He died on October 10, 1912.

</p><p>In 1918 Samuel Minot Jones’ only son, Minot Jones, died of <a href="1918_flu_pandemic" class="mw-redirect" title="1918 flu pandemic">Spanish influenza</a> at age nineteen while training for <a href="World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a> in Camp Polk, North Carolina. At that point Jones’ fortune was entrusted to the town of Amherst and the Jones Library trustees, an amount then totaling $661,747.08.

</p><p>On March 21, 1919, the <a href="Massachusetts_General_Court" title="Massachusetts General Court">Massachusetts Legislature</a> passed an act of incorporation allowing “The Jones Library, Incorporated,” to receive and administer their endowment funds. In April 1919 the trustees held their first meeting. Although both Jones’ will and the act of incorporation specified the construction of a fireproof building, the trustees set up a temporary “reading room” in apartment housing across the street from their future building site.

</p><p>The first librarian of the Jones Library was Charles Robert Green. He had been the librarian of the Massachusetts Agricultural College (now <a href="University_of_Massachusetts_Amherst" title="University of Massachusetts Amherst">University of Massachusetts Amherst</a>) since 1908, but the College's budgetary restrictions on their library induced him to seek other work. He was appointed the librarian of the Jones Library on September 1, 1920.

</p><p>From 1920 to 1926, Green established the Jones Library in the temporary space nearby the building site and expanded the collection. Over five thousand books were received from the recently closed Amherst town library, and the <a href="Bertram_Boltwood" title="Bertram Boltwood">Boltwood family</a> donated a collection of local history books and manuscripts. In 1922 the library began to host programming in one of the rented rooms, including academic lectures, storytelling, and adult literature classes.

</p><p>On December 9, 1926, a fire broke out in the apartment building that served as the library's temporary location. Local college students worked with firefighters to save many of the books and furniture, and though the library lost significant portions of collections and their records, they were able to re-open in hastily leased rooms the very next day. The new rooms were in the F.S. Whipple home on North Pleasant Street, directly adjacent to the lot on Amity Street purchased as a location for the projected library building, on which construction soon began.

</p>

<p>The Amity Street building, designed by Allan Cox of the Putnam & Cox architecture firm, was completed on November 1, 1928. The trustees and architects intentionally designed the building to look more like a home than a public space: the intention was for the library to play the role of “Mother Amherst welcoming her children home.” <sup id="cite_ref-Rand1969_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rand1969-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was also one of the first libraries to house a public auditorium space for community performances and gatherings; the idea was so new that when the programs first started the librarian wrote to the <a href="Massachusetts_Board_of_Library_Commissioners" title="Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners">State Library Commission</a> to check that they were legally allowed to hold events in a library space.

</p><p>Charles Green, the first librarian, encouraged local authors, poets, academics, biographers and other literary figures to come speak at the library. Notable performers and patrons of the library included poets <a href="David_Morton_(poet)" title="David Morton (poet)">David Morton</a>, <a href="Robert_Francis_(poet)" title="Robert Francis (poet)">Robert Francis</a> and <a href="Robert_Frost" title="Robert Frost">Robert Frost</a>, Nobel Prize winner <a href="William_P._Murphy" title="William P. Murphy">Dr. William Murphy</a>, Supreme Court Justice <a href="Harlan_F._Stone" title="Harlan F. Stone">Harlan Fiske Stone</a>, and journalist <a href="Ray_Stannard_Baker" title="Ray Stannard Baker">Ray Stannard Baker</a> (under his <a href="Pseudonym" title="Pseudonym">pseudonym</a> David Grayson).

</p><p>William F. Merrill became the second director of the library in 1954. The subsequent directors were Quentin De Streel (1971–75),<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Anne Turner (1975–80), Bonnie Isman (1980–2010) and Sharon Sharry (2011–present).

</p><p>In 2003 the Jones Library formed a sister library relationship with a library in <a href="Kanegasaki%2C_Iwate" title="Kanegasaki, Iwate">Kanegasaki, Japan</a>. The libraries exchange books and resources, particularly those related to Emily Dickinson.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Branches">Branches</h2></div>

<p>The Jones Library has two branches in addition to the main Amity Street location.

</p><p>The Munson Memorial Library is on South East Street in <a href="South_Amherst%2C_Massachusetts" title="South Amherst, Massachusetts">South Amherst</a>. It is named for Parnell T. Munson, whose widow donated $30,000 in her will to build a library in Amherst in 1914. When the much larger Samuel Minot Jones bequest was made 5 years later, the plans already underway for the Munson bequest were scrapped. The building to house the Munson Memorial Library was finally built in 1930, as a branch of the Jones Library, and later evolved into a community center with a library inside.

</p><p>The North Amherst Library was the first free public library in Amherst, initially sustained through membership dues instead of an endowment. It was established in 1873, and has been located at its current address on Montague Road since 1891. The building is part of the <a href="North_Amherst_Center_Historic_District" title="North Amherst Center Historic District">North Amherst Center Historic District</a>. The North Amherst library became a branch of the Jones Library on June 20, 1925.
