The Book in my Head is Now on the Page

The Book in my Head is Now on the Page The Leeds Library is a wonderful mix of the old and the new located at the very heart of a busy shopping centre. The Library became a charity on 1 July 2008

It 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. It boasts Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) as one of its original subscribers. 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. About 1,500 new books and audio/visual items are added every year and a large proportion of the Library's holdings is available for loan to its members.
