Public libraries have strangely never been the subject of an
extensive design history. Consequently, this important and
comprehensive book represents a ground-breaking socio-architectural
study of pre-1939 public library buildings. A surprisingly high
proportion of these urban civic buildings remain intact and present
an increasingly difficult architectural problem for many
communities. The book thus includes a study of what is happening to
these historic libraries now and proposes that knowledge of their
origins and early development can help build an understanding of
how best to handle their future.
