Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 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 (Lincoln) are listed only by their total amount, not broken down for each branch.
