Scope and content
This small wooden Carpenter Gothic building, formerly a Lutheran Church, had served as Bremerton's Public Library since 1920. In August of 1935, the city was anxiously awaiting a decision from Harry Hopkins and the Public Works Administration on their request for funds to build a new library to house its 13,000 volumes and to better serve its 4876 borrowers. The pictured building had previously served as a church and a school. In order to house the volumes, it had floor to ceiling shelves, making the top books almost impossible to retrieve.
