After the amalgamation of Leith with Edinburgh in 1920, the provision of a library service was promised. The grounds of Leith Mount, the manse of North Leith Parish Church, were acquired for the building of Leith Library and Town Hall, opened in 1932. The building was badly damaged in an air raid in April 1941 but was restored and re-opened in 1955.
