Notes

1. ^¹At various times, Bobinski and Jones disagree on these numbers. In these cases, Jones' numbers have been used due to both a more recent publication date and a more detailed gazetteer of branch libraries, which are often where the discrepancies occur.
2. ^In cases where multiple branches were granted, only the total amount is reflected in this column.
