Fun fact about libraries: Did you know the Benjamin Franklin's is responsible for public library in the United States? First, he started a private library in Philidelphia where members could join by paying a fee. Franklin had books (mostly about education and religion) shipped in from London to fill the library. Non-members could also access the books if they paid a fee. More "membership libraries" were founded across America into the mid-nineteenth century.
In 1790, a town in Massachusetts named itself after Franklin. The residents of the town asked Franklin to send them a bell. But Franklin chose instead to send a collection of books, which he thought would be of greater importance to the community. The citizens of Franklin voted to make the collection freely available to all residents. And voila! The first public library in the United States was born. Read more about it here!
