Gallini Hemman, Inc. The Library Company of Philadelphia. Gallini Hemman, Inc
(Mrs. Maranda - i needed help looking for what year the Brochure was published, and where)
This source is a secondary source, and was published by the Gallini Hemman, Inc. Gallini Hemman, Inc is a corporation developed in Pennsylvania in 1999. This source helped me figure out the Library company has developed over the years. I learned that after the library company was founded in 1731, more unique books were donated, and more people engaged at the wonderful old colonial American library. High school students, and College would be the audience of this source, it would help them in research reports, and projects.

This source is a secondary source. It was published by Lauren Propst, who is in charge with, and coordinates/assists Programs & Event. This website gave me information to contact a person from the Print Room who can assist me with my topic. I emailed the email address that was given on the website, and I got in contact with Phil Lapansky. I visited the library company, and spoken with Phil, who also gave me a book called, "At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin."

This article is a secondary source, it was written by John C. Van Horne. John C. Van Horne is the Director of the Library Company, who worked over 20 years there. This article helped me explain, "what immediate effect on the country did it have?" The article explained that during the 1800 - 1865, the library expanded. Books were being donated, and the library company grew. It became the, "City Library," or "Philadelphia Library." This type of article would be read by high school students, or college grad students.

Wolf. At the Instance of Benjamin Franklin A Brief History of the Library Company. Boston: Library Company of Philadelphia, 1995.
This source is a secondary source. It helped me see how the library company expanded into a bigger, and better library company. It gave me information that described every detail there could be. This book woould be great for high school, and college grad students who are looking for text books with a lot of deatails. It also gave me information on the people who agreed on this innovation, like Louis Timothee.

Cooke, Jacob E., and Milton M. Klein, eds. North America in Colonial Times. New ed. Vol. 2. New York: CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, 1998. Print.
This resource will be valuable to me because it has the information I need to know about the types of libraries, when and where it was established, and the education life in the late 1600's and 1700's. It explains four types of libraries; personal libraries,college libraries, church and community libraries, and social libraries. I know this source would be a source good for someone who is looking for information about the types of libraries, and how they were created.This is a secondary source. I learned that in 1731, Benjamin Franklin founded the first social library in America. A social libary is a library founded by members who used their money in order to buy books, and make them useable for colonist to come and borrow, with an exception of a fee. This resource also had information about the education in the late 1600's to the 1700's. The editor of this resource is Jacob E. Cooke and Milton M. Klein are both editors of historical books.

Topic- The Library Company in Philadelphia
The library company was founded in 1731, by Benjamin Franklin. My project was built in Philadelphia, and it was the first lending library.
Benjamin Franklin, and the Junto's. (A group, 12 members, who was established by Benjamin Franklin by different occupations and backgrounds. 1727) Benjamin Franklin, and the Juto's are credited for the innovation The Library Company. They paid 40 shillings(2 pounds), and decided to each pay 10 shillings each year.
what was the literacy rate in the 1700's? that made the library improve it?
The life in the 18 century wasn't like the life today. now Children would be worried about their education and having fun. in the 18 century children were mini lookalikes like adults. men were to become apprentices (?) of blacksmiths. the girls were to become like their mothers. clean,cook, and gather up food for the men when they got home from work.
-FACTS MORE ON THE 18TH CENTURY
The major impact and change in history this innovation, the library company made is the capability of lending books
