Leith Library is one of Edinburgh's 28 freely-accessible libraries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leith Library )〕 It is located in Leith, in the northern part of the city, at the foot of Ferry Road shortly before it meets Great Junction Street and North Great Junction Street.〔http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=55.975312&lon=-3.179569&zoom=18&layers=M〕 The stone marking the first phase of construction was laid by the then Lord Provost, Alexander Stevenson in 1929.〔https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leith_library,_Edinburgh_(Date_stone)_004.jpg〕 It was finally completed in 1961 and is a category B listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=28 and 30 Ferry Road, Leith Library )〕 The library is currently open six days a week and, in addition to the collection of books, offers visitors computer access, a for-hire community room, public exhibition space, a knitting group and a weekly children's crafts class/workshop.〔 Local-area MSP Malcolm Chisholm also host surgeries within the library,〔https://www.scottish.parliament.uk/msps/currentmsps/27425.aspx〕 and the local registrar's office adjoins the main library building. To the building's rear is the Leith Theatre. As with all of the City's libraries, Leith public library uses the Library of Congress Classification system for its adult collection. As of 1974, Edinburgh is the only area in the UK where public libraries utilise the US classification scheme. Children's books, and some non-English works, are indexed using the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leith Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
