HISTORY
The JPWL was established through a bequest from Florence Sidette Crofut and named in honor of the Rev. John P. Webster, pastor of First Church from 1956 – 1976.
At the library’s dedication in 1978, Rev. Webster said that he hoped the library would become a place of acceptance – “the House of the Word,” where patrons of all ages and backgrounds would find inspiration for their faith journeys.
