The Academic and Research Libraries Group Yorkshire & Humberside branch would like to invite you to a librarians’ tour of a fascinating library in the centre of Leeds. The Leeds Library, housed in a fine two hundred year-old building, was founded in 1768 as a proprietary subscription library and is now the oldest surviving example of this sort of library in the British Isles. The collections are particularly rich in travel, topography, biography, history and literature. There are long runs of periodicals, popular novels, children's books and Civil War pamphlets and Reformation Tracts. There are 30 spaces available. There is a deadline of Thursday 3rd July for bookings. Please contact Jennifer Rowland [[log in to unmask]] or see the ARLG events page [http://www.cilip.org.uk/academic-and-research-libraries-group/events/cpd-free-visit-leeds-library] for more information or to book. This event is organised by the Yorkshire & Humberside branch of the CILIP Academic and Research Libraries Group. Apologies for cross-posting, and for forgetting to add the date first first time around.
