In 1731, Benjamin Franklin opened the 1st US library in philadelphia. His library started to become known in about 1732, and by then that library company was getting many books. By 1741 the library also included books on history, geography, poetry, exploration and science. The succsess of his library made other librarys in America to open. Benjamin came up of this idea becasue he was a printer, a journalist, a scientist, and a librarian, so he put all of his ideas together and opened a library. If Benjamin Franklin had never opened this library in the first place we problaby wouldnt have a library. People wouldnt be able to go get books, or study, or even use a computer if they didnt have one. Furthor more, Theres many libraries in the world, and if he didnt open the first one we would have no libraries. Thanks to Benjamin Franklin, we have many wonderful libraries to go to every day if we wanted to.
