Abstract:

The Webster Library of Niagara is one of the few buildings still standing in the small town just north of Southern Pines. Originally founded as a resort town, the venture proved unsuccessful and the land was bought by residents to pay back taxes. The library, which has remained the same since its founding in 1912, is maintained by the community. It houses roughly two hundred volumes.\r\n
