The Library was opened in 1909 and replaced the Old Town Library which was situated in the Market Place. The Library is named after Andrew Carnegie who was an American Millionaire of Scottish Decent who made his fortune in Oil, Iron & Steel, and Railway Sleeping Cars. He started his working life as a "Bobbin" boy at the age of 13, becoming a Telegraph boy at 14 earning $2.50 per week and went on to amass a vast fortune.
He used this fortune for the betterment of mankind and endowed many libraries in the USA, Cananda, UK including Kendal Library and other English Speaking countries.
In addition to the supurb lending library, Kendal library has a fine reference section , local history section, I.T Section and boasts video (dvd) , audio, and music libraries.
It is well worth a visit even if only to wile away a wet afternoon -but I think you'll be back.
