Abstract
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the island world of Micronesia was devoid of libraries, with the exception of a private library established by the Portuguese-Marshallese Joachim deBrum on the semi-remote atoll of Likiep in the Marshall Islands. The article traces the origin and development of the library and comments on its composition.
