Libraries in the Bahamas date back to the early nineteenth century and were initially set up through the activities of the Reading Society, the Bahamas Institute and the Bahamas Society for Diffusion of Knowledge. By the end of the nineteenth century there were five public libraries and reading rooms in the islands of the Bahamas namely: Nassau, Dunmore Town, Matthew Town, New Plymouth and Governor's Harbour. Readers had to pay a subscription to use these libraries and their founding was considerably influenced by the colonial presence on the islands. There are also many school libraries in the Bahamas and the Department of Archives has a very rich and highly patronized library.
