Ewart Library, Catherine Street, Dumfries
Money to build the library was donated by Scottish-American steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It is one of nearly 3,000 to which he contributed worldwide, the first one being in his home town of Dunfermline Image
The library was named after William Ewart, MP for Dumfries 1841-68. He introduced a bill which led to the Public Libraries Acts of 1850 (England) and 1853 (Scotland). This allowed free libraries to be funded from local taxes, although Dumfries did not get one until the Ewart opened in 1904. http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/Dumgal/MiniWeb.aspx?id=33
