Description
Carnegie libraries are libraries which were built with money donated by Scottish-American businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie More than 2,500 Carnegie libraries were built. Carnegie earned the nickname Patron Saint of Libraries. Andrew Carnegie, the millionaire philanthropist gave £3,000 to build a new library. A Public Library Sites Committee was formed and finally a site in Corporation Street was recommended. A competition was held with a prize of 30 guineas to see which architect would design the new library. Forty-eight plans were submitted and the winner was Walter Payton of Birmingham. David Davies, Llandinam, laid the foundation stone in July 1905 and on Friday, 20th April 1906 Mrs Vaughan Davies, wife of the local MP, formally opened the current library in Corporation Street.
