Daycroft Library
Interlibrary Loan Program

The Daycroft Library offers a rich collection of materials of interest to the casual browser as well as the in-depth researcher. It includes some 600 titles intended to help visitors gain a better understanding of Mrs. Eddy, her work and the times in which she lived.

Among the library's more unusual holdings are those written or compiled by early workers in Christian Science. These pieces, including scrapbooks of photographs and newspaper clippings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are unique to Longyear. The scrapbooks
have been reproduced photographically to protect the fragile originals.

The titles in the Daycroft Library cover a range of topics. There are biographies of Mary Baker Eddy and copies of her published writings, histories of New England and the communities in which Mrs. Eddy lived, Bible translations, works on the history of Christianity, biographies of religious reformers, and studies of 19th-century clothing and lifestyles as well as science and technology. There is a selection of children's books along with periodicals on early American life and homes, New England museums and the history of the state of New Hampshire and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The Daycroft Library is named for The Daycroft School Foundation, Inc. in appreciation for their generous support of the library.

The library is open Sunday 1 to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday - Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Closed Tuesdays & holidays)
