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 Scotland 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. They may have been funded by wealthy philanthropists or by well-wishers. Attention is paid too to libraries which were aimed at specific communities, such as workers in factories, mills, mines, railway works, and shops, as well as book provision for policemen, soldiers and sailors, hospital patients, nurses, workhouses, prisoners, and domestic servants (and hotel guests). The voluntary public libraries of England and Wales are dealt with in Volume 1.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本卷探討了十九世紀末在蘇格蘭和威爾斯向公眾提供的各類免費（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。它們實際上是市政公共圖書館的替代品，存在於那些缺乏此類圖書館的地區。這些圖書館可能由富有的慈善家或善心人士資助。文中也關注了針對特定社群的圖書館，例如工廠、紡織廠、礦場、鐵路工地和商店的工人，以及為警察、士兵和水手、醫院病人、護士、工作院、囚犯和家庭佣人（以及酒店客人）提供的書籍。英格蘭和威爾斯的自願公共圖書館在第一卷中有詳細討論。
