Title |
Un aspect inconnu du débat autour de la bibliothèque publique à Montréal : la Montreal Free Library (1889- )
|
Abstract |
The author traces the history of the Montreal Free Library and analyzes the contents of its book holdings (and the unexpected prominence of novels), while showing the significance of its being “free” in the context of the history of libraries in Montreal at the end of the nineteenth century. The idea of establishing this Montreal library originated in the spring of 1889 during an afternoon tea at the Queen’s Hall when three women – Mrs. Thomas McCarthy, Miss A.T. Sadlier and Miss M.J. Gethin – proposed the idea of an institution that would provide the free loan of books for the use of the city’s English-speaking Catholic community.
