Our Public Libraries.
A paper by Joseph Leroy Harrison in
Il'he New England Magazine recalls the
an that the first public library in
Merino was founded by Benjamin
Franklin in 1731. Books were scarce
and expensive in those days, and he
[Imposed to the Junto club, to which he
belonged, that the members should bring
their books to the clubrooms, where all
might enjoy them. This was done and
was the foundation of the Philadelphia
Library company, “the mother of all
North American subscription libra-
ries.” The popular movement toward
the modern public library began with
the establishment of so called mercauc
tile libraries. The first of these were
started in New York and Boston in
1820. All might share their benefits on
payment of a moderate fee.
The next stop was the wholly free
public library. In some cases wealthy
man founded such. Then there was a
pest wave of sentiment in favor of
libraries in connection with public
I schools. Several of the largest free
libraries in the country thus took their '
rise. The simplIst state library law is
probably that. of New Y.ork It was
passed in 1892. Under it $25,000 is an-

given town or village. Exprossnge must
be paid by the applicants. Three dollars
will pay for the conveyance of 50 books
or '5 for 100 books. They may be kept
six months, when they must be re-
turned, and another set may be obtained.
