The Garrison Library was founded in Gibraltar in 1793 by Captain (later Colonel) John Drinkwater Bethune. ==History== Constructed on the site of the Governors’ residence during the Spanish occupation of Gibraltar,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visitgibraltar.gi/heritage-garrisons )〕 the library was officially opened in 1804 by the Duke of Kent. In 1823 the library's fees were "100 hard dollars" which was paid by the 150 proprietors of the "Commercial Library". Each proprietor was entitled to borrow one large or three smaller books or an entire set of a novel for one to two weeks. In exchange they had to also pay 16 dollars per year. This was a commercial affair and membership of the library could be bought or sold. The thirteen members of the committee were elected annually and the library was to be open seven days a week with both winter and summer hours. The library served as the headquarters and archive service of the ''Gibraltar Chronicle'', the world's second oldest English language newspaper. The Library was established for and by the officers of the Garrison of Gibraltar. It has remained a private entity run by a Trust for over two hundred years〔Gibraltar Garrison Library Minute Books and 200th Anniversary Commemorative Booklet, 2004〕 up until, September 2011, at which point the Library was transferred to the Government of Gibraltar.
