It shares the URSUS online cataloging system with the University of Maine and other Maine libraries.[2] The library's roots date to 1830, when the Bangor Mechanic Association assembled a private collection of books.[3] In 1873, it absorbed several other associations' libraries and became the Bangor Mechanic Association Public Library.[4] In 1883, former U.S. Congressman and lumber baron Samuel F. Hersey left the City of Bangor a $100,000 bequest, which the city used to form a municipally owned public library. The Mechanic Association's 20,000 books formed the core collection. In 1905, the small membership fee was abolished and the library became truly open to all.[5] By 1911, the library's collection had grown to 70,000 books. Then came the Great Fire of 1911, which destroyed the library along with most of the Bangor Business District.[6] The library reopened that May with the 29 books pulled from the ashes and 1,300 others that had been on loan.[7] (Today, the library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Great Fire of 1911 Historic District.[8]) In 1913, the library's new building, designed by the Boston architectural firm Peabody and Stearns, opened its doors near the high school.[9] In 1997, the library was renovated and a new wing added (designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects), thanks to a donation from Stephen and Tabitha King.[10] King's story The Library Policeman was inspired by his 10-year-old son's expressed fear of returning overdue books to the Bangor Public Library because of "the library police".[11] In 2014, the library was renovated again; plans included a new glass atrium designed by Scott Simons Architects.[12] On an interesting note, the library contains the couch that former VP Hannibal Hamlin drew his last breath upon while playing cards too hard.[13] References1. ^{{NRISref|version=2009a}} 2. ^http://www.librarytechnology.org/lwc-displaylibrary.pl?RC=179 3. ^http://www.bizymoms.com/bangor/bangor-public-library.php?topicid=6531&threadid=22261 4. ^http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h2421.html 5. ^The American library annual, p. 327 6. ^Maine library bulletin, Volumes 1-6, p. 2 7. ^Report of the Public Library 1917, p. 16 8. ^http://www.bangormaine.gov/pdf/Historic_Brochure_Online_Version.pdf 9. ^1 http://bangorinfo.com/Focus/focus_bpl.html 10. ^http://www.tv.com/people/tabitha-king/trivia/ 11. ^Stephen J.
