Case Memorial Library
The Seymour Public Library District traces its history back to 1876, when the Seymour Library Association was established in May. The previous year, James Skinner Seymour, president of the National Bank of Auburn, bequeathed $18, 000 for a library. During its first years, the library was not open free of charge, but had an annual membership fee of $2 to defray operating costs which lasted until 1896. The original library was located on the second floor of the Auburn Savings Bank building (now known as the Phoenix Building).
