商品描述

This volume provides an examination of the kind of free (or nearly free) libraries which were available to the general public in England and Wales in the late nineteenth century, but which were not supported by local taxation. They were effectually substitutes for municipal public libraries in areas where that sort of library provision did not exist. And they were voluntary because they did not enjoy funding from local councils but from wealthy philanthropists or from raising money themselves from well-wishers. Many of those libraries were located in cities and towns (there were many in London) but village libraries are included. Volume 2 covers Scotland and Ireland, as well as the often-ignored subject of workplace libraries.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本卷探討了十九世紀末英格蘭和威爾士向大眾提供的各種免費（或幾乎免費）圖書館，但這些圖書館並未受到地方稅收的支持。它們實際上是市立公共圖書館的替代品，存在於那些沒有此類圖書館的地區。這些圖書館是自願性質的，因為它們的資金來源並非來自地方議會，而是來自富有的慈善家或自籌資金的善心人士。許多這些圖書館位於城市和城鎮（倫敦有許多），但也包括村莊圖書館。第二卷則涵蓋了蘇格蘭和愛爾蘭，以及經常被忽視的工作場所圖書館主題。
