Birmingham Library (17th century)
The first Birmingham Library was founded between 1635 and 1642 in Birmingham, England by the puritan minister Francis Roberts. A letter to the Viscount Conway, surviving in the state papers of Charles I and dated 7 August 1637, possibly refers to a catalogue of the library: Although the library was one of the first public libraries in England, its puritan origins meant that its collection was dispersed after the Restoration of 1660.
