After a scene-setting description of early British library history, John Tiernan will relate the story of the establishment and growth of public libraries in Liverpool from 1852. In a period when these much-loved institutions are under increasing pressure and often the threat of closure, he describes the importance given to libraries by our civic fathers and patrons like Andrew Carnegie. John, who has been Chairman of the Liverpool History Society since 2002, is retired Assistant Director, Liverpool City Libraries, and is an active library historian.
