"'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."
