The Randall Library is a public library at 19 Crescent Street in Stow, Massachusetts. In 1851 John Witt Randall, a notable naturalist, poet, and art collector, donated his collection of 700 books to form a library and left a bequest in his will to construct the current library building and to fund a permanent trust.[1] The library building was designed by the architect George G. Adams and built in 1893 by the contractor, A. P. Powers. A large addition was built in 1976. The library is part of the Minuteman Library Network.[2]
