The Library owes much to the Burnham Hall Foundation
Lincoln Library was located in Burnham Hall from 1924-1998 
The Lincoln library first moved to Burnham Hall when the Good Templars & Ladies Aid Hall burned in January of 1924. Members moved books to the house across the street (now owned by Libby Steadman, owned at that time by Hannah Morgan) for a short time, and then moved them to the lower room at Burnham Hall. It was housed there until 1932 when it was moved into the newly added back section of Burnham Hall which had been added specifically for the Library and the Stage upstairs.
The Library remained in Burnham Hall until the flood of Jun 27th, 1998.

Weight, Weight, Don’t tell me!
 With Tina Scharf
Years of weight-loss-and-maintenance experience has taught me that a support group makes a huge
difference. We'd like to start a weight-control support group in Lincoln. This would be free, and there
would be no leader per se, but I am willing to get things started by bringing a scale and some paper
charts. Each week participants can weigh themselves, privately, and keep their own records. Also each
week we will, as a group, decide on a topic for the following week. We will sit in a circle and talk
together, as opposed to having a leader who gives a lecture. The first meeting was Friday, November
30th, from 4:30-5:00 PM at the Lincoln Library.
Everyone Welcome to join.
