Portsmouth Public Library

Public libraries Public libraries in British first established by Act of the Museum of Canterbury in 1847, Warrington, in 1848, and in 1850 in Salford’ A library service began in Brighton in 1850 by a private act, which was directed by William Ewart, who had to work hard to implement in the context of such strong opposition’

1850 Public Libraries Act empowered county councils in England and Wales with a population of 10,000 at a rate Halfpenny spent in libraries and museums, thereby establishing a principle, but to impose severe restrictions on the practice’ In 1855, the rate increased to one hundred people and the ceiling was reduced to 5000, 1866, the rate of population has been deleted’ Norwich was the first authority to approve the law in 1850, but did not provide the service until 1857′

The first library was opened under the law was in 1850 in Winchester, which opened its first public library in 1851′ The following year, a Manchester opened its first public library, next to Liverpool a library open’ And then, by a special law had been opened in libraries, Sheffield and Birmingham’ From 1857 to 1885, the only public library in London has been Santa Margarita and San Juan, located in Westminster’ Another was opened in 1885 in Wandsworth’

Before 1870, only 48 libraries have been opened, most of which were in England, only a small number have been opened in Scotland and Wales’ Growth of the library became faster between 1870 and 1900, 400 libraries have been established’ In 1913 the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie a $ 2 million for the creation of public libraries, provided that local authorities and the site maintenance schedule’

Recently, in February this year, in fact, a public library system was found guilty and throwing garbage bags to study full of books used in their trash’ Several of these books are still in excellent condition and is not just one time or another event’

Public Library Knox County, which is sponsored by the taxes that are paid by residents and county, was studied recently by one of the local news channels in the state of Tennessee and the wrath of their research in a number of the Knox County residents’ Throughout the county, there are at least twenty public libraries and eighty percent of the libraries have been convicted for throwing a large amount of garbage bags of books every week’ Books that were recovered ranged from children’s books to textbooks to magazines, but more shocking is that some of the books that looked as if it was never opened’ All these books have been marked by the Library with the seal removed, indicating that it was no longer in your system’

The Knox County residents were outraged by the findings of this investigation because they believe that the book could have been invested in schools, nurseries, boys and girls clubs, centers for the elderly, or who may have sold at least depth for new books or computers for the libraries’ Several of these books were brought to the area of selling books to determine what would be its value, and most of the books that have received at least anywhere from seventy-five cents’ In fact, a book is a book about the biology of endangered species and has a value of twelve dollars, which is even more wrenching to make’

Comments, policies and procedures by the director of the Knox County Library System and the general public are alarming’ I never thought in a country that has freedom of expression and there are many people who can not read and write that we would have a public library system selfish shed pounds’ If the library did not want more books and have not had time to process, so why not just give people entering the library on a daily basis? This is so barbaric!
