20 Jan 2025

As well as being a huge step into the future for the 140 year-old library, the music project is a realisation of the vision started by Alice Eleanor Burbridge, the city’s first dedicated music librarian. Known as Eleanor to friends, or Ms Burbridge for those with overdue books, when the music library opened in 1950, her aim was to ensure music was accessible to all and would play a role in breaking down social barriers in Leeds.
