The Scottish Central Library

Librarians are aware of the fact that for some years the Carnegie United Kingdom Trustees have had in view the time when the Scottish Central Library would be given official recognition and find its home in the setting of Edinburgh. The premises at Dunfermline were just good enough for a slowly developing scheme, but as the years passed it became obvious that other arrangements would have to be made, and the capital city was looked upon as the natural setting for the extending enterprise.
