Circulating library, Bath, England The first circulating library in Bath was opened in 1728 on Terrace Walk by James Leake, a bookseller and printer originally from London. Books were expensive and heavy at the time so joining a library enabled people to pass time during intervals between taking the water cures. They also became social centers offering more than just books.
