Abstract
Anson Phelps Stokes Italian Free Library was an example of an ethnic library located in an Italian enclave of New York City in the 1890s to 1910s. It served a need in helping educate and Americanize Italians living in that area, while also indoctrinating them into Protestant faith by its library director, Pastor Antonio Arrighi.
