Frederick H. Cossitt Library

The Frederick H. Cossitt Library occupies a two-story red building with a brick-faced first floor and clapboarded second level at 388 North Granby Road.

Frederick H. Cossitt, born in Granby in 1811, provided funds through his heirs to establish this library in 1891 after achieving success in business ventures.

The library maintains a collection that began with 1300 books and continues to serve as an educational center within the Granby Public Library system.

Visitors can access the main entrance on the second level through a gabled porch, while the ground floor features a recently reconstructed entrance.

The building stands across from Frederick Cossitt's birthplace and contains a special register for patrons to sign, connecting current visitors with its history.
