“In this institution, special provision has been made for the working classes, by means of a free lending library … this meeting cherishes the earnest hope that the books thus made available will prove a source of pleasure and improvement in the cottages, the garrets, and the cellars of the poorest of our people.”
–Charles Dickens,at the opening ceremony of Manchester Public Library, September 1852
And in 2014, we can still enjoy this magnificent establishment, both from outside and inside. It’s a joy to see the building unveiled after its recent refurbishment.

That library is just precious. Great photos.
I decided to play along this week. This past weekend I had a great chance to take a few looking down photos.

Beautiful library building! Unlike in Dickens’ time, the lending of a book is probably not free anymore:)

Ha! They will be here, I’m sure, but there are certainly now smaller libraries where it may not be free. Extra services will be charged but not normally books. How much longer that will last I do not know.
