This Smithsburg Community Library is open two days in the week, one day for the school children and the other for the general public. With this branch there is a constant exchange of books from the main library. (From Anniversary booklet) From a July 29, 1926 newspaper account, quoting Lillian Barkdoll: "The library was organized in 1915 as an outcropping of the Smithsburg Booster Club, which has long since failed to boost. Mrs. Bertha Morton appealed to Miss Titcomb for a collection of books, the club to pay for the room and equipment and Mrs. Moron as librarian giving her salary free. This arrangement lasted for a year or so. When interest began to wane and trained services were needed, Miss Titcomb asked me to take over the task of jacking up the interest once more. I must say I was not keen about it. Reviving enthusiasm is usually a difficult task, but this being my home town I buckled to. In circulation of books the Library reached the high pinnacle of almost 11,000 volumes the first year we were in the building."
