Leith Library

Leith Library on Ferry Road

Leith Library is one of Edinburgh's 28 freely-accessible libraries.[1] It is a category B listed building.[2] located in Leith, in the northern part of the city, at the foot of Ferry Road shortly before it meets Great Junction Street and North Junction Street.[3]

The datestone

The stone marking the first phase of construction was laid by the then Lord Provost, Alexander Stevenson in 1929.[4] It was designed by Bradshaw Gass & Hope and opened in 1932.[5] The building suffered bomb damage in 1941 but was subsequently restored and re-opened in 1955.[6]

The library is currently open six days a week and, in addition to the collection of books, offers visitors computer access, a for-hire community room, public exhibition space, a knitting group and a weekly children's crafts class/workshop.[1]

Local-area MSP Ben Macpherson also hosts surgeries within the library,[7] and the local registrar's office adjoins the main library building. To the building's rear is the Leith Theatre.[8]

As with all the City's libraries, Leith public library uses the Library of Congress Classification system for its adult collection.[9] As of 1974, Edinburgh is the only area in the UK where public libraries utilise the US classification scheme. Children's books, and some non-English works, are indexed using the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme.
