Turku Main Library is the chief branch of Turku City Library, located in the city centre of Turku, Finland.
The Turku Main Library 2,900 m² old building is a Dutch late Renaissance style building, constructed in 1903, built and delivered by Turku commercial counsellor Fredric von Rettig and designed by Karl August Wrede. The designe was based on a Swedish House of Nobility in Stockholm. The first floor was a national library for the working class and the second was the city library for academics. These two libraries merged in 1912 to become Turku City Library.
This library at the time was the third in Finland. Before there was a library in Turku, the only places to get books from a building was in Helsinki and Rauma.
What if the #savelibraries campaign had taken place in World War One? How might it have been fought? I found some posters - some well known, others not - from the period and adapted them. I hope you enjoy them and find them useful.

The Library inside Chatsworth Manor House, in Derbyshire, England. Chatsworth House was built by Sir William Cavendish and his wife Bess of Hardwick. They bought the 1,000 acre estate land in 1549 and construction of the house started in 1552. In the 19th century, the Duke of Devonshire acquired the Manor, and made major transformations. One of them was 'the long gallery', originally created by the First Duke, into a library. He was a great lover of books and purchased entire libraries.
