Kettering Carnegie library

Summary

edit
Description
English: A second visit to this library - and while it does have less ivy than last time, there is still a lot.

At least this time it was open - and one of the library staff kindly showed me lots of photos of the building as it evolved, plus a copy of the original plans. There was a display case showing the souvenir brochure made when the library was opened in 1904, by Andrew Carnegie himself.

Lots of new information for me to update my web page: carnegielegacyinengland.wordpress.com/2016/09/18/ketterin...

Kate Edith Pierce (30 November 1873 – 27 March 1966) was a British librarian based in Kettering. She was appointed Chief Librarian and she introduced an early open shelf library. Aided by Carnegie funding she opened one of the first purpose-built open shelf libraries and introduced Inter-Library Lending in the 1930s. from wiki
