Description:Excerpt from The University Library Cambridge, Vol. 46 The Library of the University of Cambridge may claim to be the oldest public library in the kingdom. Its actual beginnings have not been traced, but it has been in existence for at least 500 years. It still possesses books bequeathed to the University in 1415, and it has been in occupation of some part of the present buildings since 1470. The pride of historical continuity is, however, in some measure tempered by the legacy of mediaeval arrangements. The existing book-cases date from 1649 to 1921, and the buildings from about 1400 to the latter part of the nineteenth century. The extent and value of the collections which have been gathered together within its walls during the five centuries of its history, as well as the use to which its resources are put, give the Library an important place among the great libraries of the world. The site upon which the buildings stand measures nearly an acre. The printed books now occupy upwards of seventeen miles of shelving, and are estimated to number about 920,000 volumes.
