Notes and References

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 (Baltimore) are listed only by their total amount, not broken down for each branch.
