Booklovers' Library

Booklover's Library was located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It published a monthly magazine, Booklovers Magazine. The Booklovers' library had an invite-only membership and was a home library service that started in 1900. The Book Lover's library acquired a large subscription list of members of the Tabard Inn Library that could be solicited for other business and home delivery of books. The Booklovers' library owned both the Tabard Inn Library and the Bodley Club Library. The Bodley Club library was specifically to service libraries, and books appeared in blue covers to prevent them from being turned in at Tabard Inn library stations, as public libraries tended to lend the books out free of charge. In one of the Booklovers Stock offers, a Rugby library for children and Temple library targeting Sunday Schools was also in the planning states in April 1903.

The Booklovers Magazine would run special offers. For $3, patrons could have an annual subscription to the magazine. For $2 more, they could get a membership to two library systems - the Booklovers Library which could be exchanged at a library center, and a complimentary Tabard Inn Library book that could be exchanged at any Tabard Inn Exchange station.
