Waterford City Library
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waterford City Library, also known as the Central Library, is a public library in Waterford, Ireland. It was the first to be built of Ireland's many Carnegie libraries. The philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who had previously opened libraries in Scotland and the US, himself laid the foundation stone in 1903.[1]
The library is built over Lady's Gate, part of the medieval city walls of the city.[2] The stump of the tower beside Lady's Gate on Lady Lane can be seen through glass in the floor of the library during library opening hours.[3]
