The Salem Social Library (1760-1810) or Social Library in Salem was a proprietary library in Salem, Massachusetts. "Twenty-eight gentlemen ... subscribed 165 guineas. ... A Boston minister, [Jeremy Condy],[1] was employed to buy the books in London and the library opened in a brick schoolhouse May 20, 1761, with 415 volumes including gifts given by members. The revolution was a bitter blow to many of the gentlemen who had founded the library. Many of the proprietors fled to England. ... In 1784 the library made a new start in new quarters in the new ... schoolhouse. Here they remained about 15 years, the schoolmaster acting as librarian."[2] "In 1797 they became incorporated;"[3] Edward Augustus Holyoke, Jacob Ashton, Joseph Hiller, and Edward Pulling served as signatories.[4] "There were over 40 proprietors when in 1810 the library was turned over to the [Salem] Athenaeum."[5][6] Subscribers{{col-begin}}{{col-1-of-5}}
