The Converse Memorial Library stands in Malden, Massachusetts, a city that grew up around shoe and rubber manufacturing in the late 1800s. The building was a gift to the community from the Converse family, whose wealth came from that industry, and it reflects the era's belief that a public library was a civic investment in ordinary working people. Its name keeps the family's memorial purpose in view, and the building remains a landmark of the city's past. Look closely at the architecture and civic setting to see how a library could serve as a symbol of local pride.
