Building Mile End Library: First Librarians
16 June 2022

The Building Mile End Library exhibition takes you through the origins of the “Student’s Library” and its first home 1890-1920, the move to the new “Old Library” in the Octagon 1921-1988 and the construction of the Mile End Library at its current home 1988-. But as much as buildings are key to the shape of the library’s history at the Mile End Campus so are the people.
