Who was the pioneer of Social Libraries in USA ?
Answer: D
The pioneer of social libraries in the USA was Benjamin Franklin.
In 1731 Franklin and members of his discussion club, the Junto, founded the Library Company of Philadelphia, a subscription library in which members pooled money to buy books for shared use. It became the model for the many social libraries that spread through America before tax-supported public libraries.
Robert Keayne left a bequest for a public library in Boston in the seventeenth century, James Logan built a large private library in Philadelphia, and John Winthrop was a colonial governor. None of them started the social library movement.
