Beskrivelse

This guide looks at the development of public libraries in England after the Second World War. It places their architecture - external and also internal - within a period of considerable political, social and economic change. Post-war aspirations set new challenges for the country's library services, which had already begun to expand considerably in the 1930s. Outwardly, new library buildings continued - financial constraints permitting - to reflect civic pride and aspirations, while inside new layouts, fixtures and fittings provided for an increasingly middle-class readership. Children's services were ever-more important, while larger libraries offered facilities such as local studies and record libraries, and later computers.
