Edinburgh Central Public Library is, strictly speaking, located on the Cowgate. It rises up four floors from this level to its main entrance on George IV Bridge. It was designed by George Washington Browne, and built in 1887-90. It was built with money donated by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Central Library acts as the community library for the centre of the city. It also has several subject dedicated sections: the Fine Art Library; Music Library; Edinburgh and Scottish Collection, and the Reference Library.
In 1986 as part of its ongoing publications programme the library service published No Ordinary Man: The Journal of an Edinburgh Coalman[William Anderson].The Anderson family in Canada were so pleased with the publication that they gifted the Willian Anderson Award for local history projects.
