AbstractAs a large, and largely rural, county, Yorkshire has a long tradition of providing community libraries. It has also provided some of the formative thinking that went into developing the services that we see today. In the course of a project in which all public library buildings in the county (and the former 'Humberside') are being visited and photographed, I have become ever more aware of the rich library heritage of the area. In addition to giving some background to the development of community libraries, an attempt is made to provide a classification of surviving library buildings according to their place in this history. I owe thanks to many people, some of whom are credited in the illustrations, and also to the financial support of CILIP in Yorkshire and Humberside and the enthusiasm of my colleagues in the Library History Group. I hope other CILIP branches will record the living heritage of their libraries.
