Abstract

This article investigates the surviving borrowers' catalogues (c.1850–70) of the Allendale lead-miners' libraries, situating these within the wider history of workplace libraries in the NorthEast of England. It considers popular reading habits in this community and the patterns of borrowing among individuals, suggesting that these give us insight into the way in which working-class readers used libraries, especially those founded through management initiatives, and their reading preferences in the mid-Victorian period.
