wbur: How little Franklin, Mass. opened America's first public library (audio)

"Massachusetts is drenched in history. You can't go much of anywhere in the commonwealth without running into America's first something or other.

But not all firsts are created equal. Some are endowed with better backstories. To wit: the Norfolk County town of Franklin is home to America's first public library.

None other than Benjamin Franklin."
