Heh, created a perfect page in one go? It *is* possible to start in mainspace. :-) Whatever the case, nice job! --Kim Bruning (talk) 17:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good 7-page paper:

Charles K. Bolton (April 1909). "Social Libraries in Boston". Publications of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts.

This is an excellent detailed book:

Jesse Hauk Shera (1949), Foundations of the public library: The Origins Of The Public Library Movement In New England 1629-1855, Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press, OCLC 575422
