TELLS HISTORY
OF THELIBRARY
Started in 1888 With Capt.
tai of so; School Teacher
Also Librarian
ONCE LOCATED
IN CITY HALL

An interesting account OF the
foundation and early struggles OF
the Library Company. predecessor
Of the Wilmington Institute Free
Library. was given by Arthur L.
Bailey. public librarian, on Mon
day in a talk 10 the students OF the
Friends School, Fifth and West
streets.
The Library Company was started
in i7Ss with a capital OF $50. It's
books were kept by a school teach
or and its room was open to the
public only two hours In the week.
Later a room was obtained in the
old City Hall. and then on Fourth
street. just Off Market. During this
period Il was a subscription library
and Of sufficient strength TO outdO
other libraries as they sprang up.
Early in the last century it was in
corporated as the Wilmington Insti-
tute.
In 1861 its present building at
Eighth and Market streets. was
built and used as a hall for lectures
and dances. II was not until 1898
that the library was made free by
the generosity Of William P. Ban
croft, who was far-sighted enough
10 plan that the city should continue
TO support the library with a grad
ually increasing appropriation.
Before it was made free the num-
Der OF subscribers was 700 and the
annual circulation 10000 books. but
about one year later the card-hold-
ers increased to 1000 and the circu-
lation to 100000.
In 1915 the campaign for a new
building was successfully held, but
the war delayed building until 1921
and It is expected now 10 move into
the new building on Rodney Square
in the spring.
