Synopsis
This book traces the establishment and development of a subscription library in Hull, from its humble beginnings in the eighteenth century to its present status as a well-established institution. The author delves into the motivations and challenges faced by the founders, the role of a select group of individuals in its inception, and the evolution of the library’s collection and services over time. Through extensive research, the author provides a comprehensive account of the library’s history, capturing the spirit of intellectual curiosity and community engagement that drove its creation and sustained its growth.
