"'What Middletown Read' is a database and search engine built upon the
circulation records of the Muncie (Indiana) Public Library from November 5,
1891 through December 3, 1902. It documents every book that every library
patron borrowed during that period, with the exception of one gap from May
28, 1892 to November 5, 1894."
