Books, Buildings and Social Engineering An important influence on the cultural and educational life of the country, British public libraries began to be supported by local taxation in 1850 but their buildings now represent a difficult architectural problem for many communities. This book presents socio-architectural history of public library buildings from 1850 to 1939.
