We have more photographs from those early days
The winter of 1962 – 1963. Notice the “City Library” signage which is no longer there.
The “study alcove” was (and still is) a quiet place to read and study. Those Ercol chairs were the height of fashion!
The Children’s Library. The alcove at the back of the picture is now our bookshop
Originally there was a wall separating the adult’s and children’s libraries. They were served through two separate counters. This is the children’s counter.
The adult library, looking toward the service counter. It hasn’t changed all that much!
