Description: | Undated,
View shows the Children's Library at York Road. The bottom half of the walls are tiled with seating arranged as a series of long tables and benches. On the left, just visible is a sign which states 'This Side For Girls showing that at this time, the room was segregated. Along the back wall are shelves of books and a grand entrance doorway topped with a 'Potts and Sons' clock. Two more signs can be seen on this wall, one which states 'Talking Not Allowed In The Newsroom'. Below this is a notice which reads, 'This Juvenile Reading Room will for the future be Open Every Saturday from 2pm to 9pm'. The notice is signed Thomas W. Hand who was Chief Librarian between 1897 and 1927. After its partial closure, the Library was used as the headquarters for the Circulating Department which was responsible for the running of all part time branches and mobile libraries. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | York Road Branch Library Children's Library | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
