From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An advertisement for Nobles' Circulating Library. The first circulating library was in Bath in 1725. By 1780, libraries were in most places. This is a library in London in mid-century. N.b. the illustration shows primarily women as patrons, as libraries were associated mostly with female readers.
