Carnegie research on libraries

Although CarnegieUK Trust are no longer involved in providing library services, they have recently created a detailed research report on the current state of play, with recommendations for the future.

In Cardiff we still have two branch libraries originally founded by Carnegie, as you can see in this article from The Guardian (Aug 2010)

"The library on Cowbridge Road East and Library Street, is one of two Carnegie libraries in Cardiff (the other is in Cathays) – founded by Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie as one of 2,500 across the globe. "

Cathays Carnegie Library opened 1907
