Kings Heath Library

I think there were several Carnegie libraries. Must have been established by a Mr Carnegie perhaps ? Must look it up. Viv.
 
I too used the Kings Heath Library throughtout the 1950s - mainly for sheet music or local history. I wasn't aware that it was one of Carnegie's libraries, but in those days it was just a source of getting what I wanted and it always looked like a converted bank to me!

I was a proud member of that library in the early 50s. I never knew it was called The Carnegie Library though. I don't remember that building to the right, would it have been railway connected I wonder ?

I think the building to the right was until recently Kings Heath police station. Fairly sure it is the same building.
