PHOTOGRAPH, Restored Public Library building, Sussex St, Linton, 1994

Historical information

The Linton library initially operated under the auspices of the Linton Mechanics' Institute, from around 1871. The library later received funding under Free Library schemes, and was known as the Linton Free Library or the Linton Public Library. By the time the library closed in 1975, it was a government funded public library managed through the Grenville Shire Council.
The photograph was taken after renovations of the building were undertaken in 1994. At the time, it was understood that the library had opened in 1874.
