| dc.description.abstract | Exterior view of the Public Library in Trinidad with the building's west wall covered in vines. This building, with its Victorian cast iron fence, housed the first national library of Trinidad and Tobago. It was established in 1851 when the then governor of Trinidad, Lord Harris - 1846 to 1854, put forward the Ordinance to the Council of Government. It was, however, not until 1902 that the library moved to this site on the corner of Pembroke and Knox Streets, Port of Spain. | en |
