Notes1. ^1 At 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. ^Grants for multiple libraries (Lynn, Somerville, Springfield, and Worcester) are listed only by their total amount, not broken down for each branch. 3. ^1 Miller, pp. 38–40
