My first Carnegie Library release was at what used to be the Galt Public Library on 6 April 2006. Galt was amalgamated with Hespeler, Preston, and some smaller communities in 1973 to form the city of Cambridge. The Galt Public Library building was built in 1903 and is no longer used as a library. It's privately owned now. I'm not sure what it is used for these days... no one seems to be, although I'm sure there's someone out there who knows. Cambridge Libraries and Galleries now has a branch just a couple of blocks away, across the river on Queen's Square.
The book is hard to see in the picture, but it's propped aganst the concrete ball on that little pillar thingy in front of the columns on the right side. If you'd like to know what's happened to this book since then, check out its journal here.
