Isn't the public library the best idea ever. I think I heard or read that Ben Franklin started it in the US. You know much more about history than I do. Was Franklin really the one?

Hmmmm, let me think.
Benjamin Franklin invented a small wood burning house stove, Firefighters Service, Bi-focal eye glasses, discovered electricities properties.
I believe he did something to start liberaries but not sure what exactly, he may have been the person to start the National Liberary in the Capital.

No patents? Was the guy independently wealthy so he could afford to be so generous?

LOL, it hasent exsisted for close to about a hundred years I believe. It was basically outed at some point in history to the public and it feel apart after Well-Known people started to be linked with it.
Also, I am not sure on this but it may have been a French Club/Society.
