Abstract
The paper offers a very brief introduction to the history of Quaker meeting libraries. It is based on printed catalogues, meeting histories, rules and advice issued at the national level, and some secondary sources. The possible number of such libraries is considered. Examples are given of the size of some libraries. Finally, something is said about the present situation in the Society of Friends.
