Gives an account of the birth, life, and occasional death of 10,000
early American library collections and traces relationships between
the presence of libraries and other aspects of American life. 1876
is considered to mark the beginning of the modern library movement
in the United States, but Americans created and used thousands of
libraries before that date. While the history of American libraries
has not been neglected by scholars, none has examined in detail
where in the different parts of the country various libraries came
into existence over any extended period of time. The present work
does that, detailing the kinds of libraries that existed before
1876 and including 80 to 85 kinds, depending on the way the
collections are classified.
