The Carnegie Library

A Memory of Luton.

I spent many hours in this library until its closure in the early 1960s. Immediately inside was the section where books were handed in on return and new loans were issued. No bar codes and scanning in those days, each book had a card inside which was retained by the librarian after stamping the book. When the new library was opened in1962 I visited this building regularly too. In particular during the very cold winter of 1963 I remember visiting several times a week for the warmth whilst browsing the shelves.
