Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In the context of Britainâs industrialized growth in the 19th century, this book tells the history of West Hamâs Public Library movement. It focuses on the formation of the library system, as well as the history and background of the borough of West Ham itself, once a small village that became densely populated with industrial workers and their families over a period of decades. As the book explains, the movement to establish a Public Library system in West Ham gained steam in the 1880s, with the first Reading Room opening in 1892. The book highlights the efforts of individuals and groups who dedicated themselves to the ideals of education and community development as they relate to the establishment and growth of these institutions. Further, the book provides insight into the broader themes connected to the establishment of publicly accessible libraries in Great Britain, exploring the role of philanthropy, social and cultural issues, and the Victorian eraâs view of the importance of literacy and intellectual development for all.
